From George Gordon:

There are 2 forms of law on the planet: Common Law and Civil Law. All forms of law are subforms of these two forms of law.

The Constitution has only 3 jurisdictions of law: common law, equity, and admiralty.

There are 2 forms of action: civil and criminal.

Common law and admiralty have civil and criminal forms of action.

Equity has ONLY civil forms of action.

This means that Common Law and Admiralty both have cognizance over civil and criminal actions, but Equity only has cognizance over civil actions.

Any criminal forms of action must be adjudicated in either Common Law or Admiralty.

No admiralty courts in the land has any jurisdiction to hear common law issues, but Common law courts can hear admiralty issues and must proceed using the procedures of the Civil Law.
