Legislative statutes and rules established by government bodies are the primary sources of procedural law. These laws outline the process for handling legal cases in courts and other legal settings.
Procedural defenses focus on the process of the legal case, such as lack of jurisdiction or improper service of process, and can result in the case being dismissed without addressing the merits. Substantive defenses address the actual legal arguments of the case, such as statute of limitations or lack of evidence, and seek to show that the plaintiff's claim is without merit.
There are generally three main types of law: criminal law (deals with crimes and punishment), civil law (concerned with private disputes between individuals), and administrative law (regulates government agencies). Other types include constitutional law, international law, and procedural law.
Substantive law establishes rights and responsibilities, outlining the legal rules governing conduct and behavior. In contrast, adjective law (also known as procedural law) sets out the processes and steps for enforcing substantive law, such as the rules for filing lawsuits and conducting trials.

Carl Wheaton has written: 'Procedural forms' -- subject(s): Forms, Procedure (Law)
Neither procedural law or substantive law are more important than the other. All crime needs to have a known punishment (substantive) and a proper way to get to that punishment (procedural).

Substantive law is the statutory or written law that governs rights and obligations of those who are subject to it. Substantive law defines the legal relationship of people with other people or between them and the state. Substantive law stands in contrast to procedural law, which comprises the rules by which a court hears and determines what happens in civil or criminal proceedings. Procedural law deals with the method and means by which substantive law is made and administered. The time allowed for one party to sue another and the rules of law governing the process of the lawsuit are examples of procedural laws. Substantive law defines crimes and punishments (in the criminal law) as well as civil rights and responsibilities in civil law. It is codified in legislated statutes or can be enacted through the initiative process. Another way of summarizing the difference between substantive and procedural is as follows: Substantive rules of law define rights and duties, while procedural rules of law provide the machinery for enforcing those rights and duties. However, the way to this clear differentiation between substantive law and, serving the substantive law, procedural law has been long, since in the Roman civil procedure the actio included both substantive and procedural elements.
The Law of the twelve Tablets contained Rome's first written code of laws. Therefore, it constituted the foundation of Roman law. Its provisions were largely procedural. They stipulated rigorous procedures and strict penalties.
