Substantive law defines rights and responsibilities, while procedural law outlines how legal proceedings are conducted. Neither prevails over the other; they work together to ensure a fair and orderly legal system. In specific cases, their application may vary, but they are both essential components of the legal process, with substantive law providing the content of the law and procedural law governing how it is enforced.
