civil law
'das Zivilrecht' and 'das Verwaltungsrecht' are both areas of law, but they regulate different relationships. 'Das Zivilrecht' mainly concerns legal questions between private individuals, companies, or organizations, for example contracts or damages. 'Das Verwaltungsrecht' concerns public administration and the relationship between the state and citizens, for example decisions made by a public authority. Learners may confuse the words because both are legal terms. The important question is: If it is about private individuals dealing with each other, 'Zivilrecht' fits. If it is about a public authority or administration, 'Verwaltungsrecht' fits.
