| | Worrying Times Ahead for Ethiopia’s Private Press |
 | | One reason for their poor performance, however, is the Press Law itself, and the unofficial embargo on giving information to the private press. | | | The labeling of some of the private press as “illegal” in itself is very unfortunate. | | | If the press in Ethiopia is to develop, the government must change this law, and ensure access to information to all. |

| | A Glance at Ethiopia’s Private Press |
| | Since the introduction of the new press draft law, expected to be presented to the House of the Peoples’ Representatives soon, it has become a fact of life that Ethiopia’s private press and the government are far from co-operating with each other to uplift the living standards of the people through the dissemination of information. | | | It appears that the private press is seen as one “continually walking a tight rope and pre-determined to offend the authorities in spite of being careful and tactful.” | | | With regard to bail, the lowest demand of a journalist in a single charge until 1998 was about 250 dollars and the highest about 625 dollars. |

| | Consumer Protection, Private International Law and Internet Contracts |
| | The concept of private international law on consumer contracts, as it was seen in previous chapters, is to use certain connecting factors to determine the applicable law or to override a choice of law by the parties. | | | Private international law conventions are to be implemented by the national legislators, hence their provisions are national law and thus subject to differing interpretation. | | | In this context, private international law is concerned with two major issues: determining the applicable law to the contract and deciding which courts have jurisdiction to hear the case. |

| | Private law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Private law is that part of a legal system which is part of the jus commune that involves relationships between individuals, such as the law of contracts or torts, as it is called in the common law, and the law of obligations as it is called in civilian legal systems. | | | That is, relationships between governments and individuals based on the law of contract or torts are governed by private law, and are not considered to be within the scope of public law. | | | The concept of private law in common law countries is a little more broad, in that it also encompasses private relationships between governments and private individuals or other entities. |

| | The area of public law, in a general sense, is the law in a given legal system that concerns the legal organisation of the various branches of government and institutions of state, as well as disputes between the government and private individuals residing within the country. | | | Private law may be referred to as civil law, but is not to be confused with the system of civilian law predominant in many nations. | | | Law is typically administered through a system of courts in which judges hear disputes between parties, and apply a set of rules in order to provide an outcome that is just and fair. |
