Most of the terms are pretty self-explanatory.

Criminal law refers to laws that make certain actions crimes.
Civil law refers to laws that provide a civil remedy for certain actions.

Admin law defines administrative and regulatory procedures.
Procedural law refers to any procedures, but most often is used to describe the rules of court (civil or criminal procedure).

Case law refers to the holdings of prior cases, which serves as binding or persuasive authority under the common law system.
Common law is another name for case law in a common law model.

Another use of the term civil law is to distinguish from common law.
In a common law system, like England or the US, judges interpret the law and those interpretations remain as precedent for later courts. Under a civil law system, like France, judges only apply the law to the specific facts at hand, but later judges may apply the law completely differently because they are not bound by prior decisions/precedent.

They are similar because they all provide a set of rules that everyone has to obey or suffer the consequences. They are different throughout the "object of activity" as some say. Because a single law can't cover so many different fields, there has to be an administrative law, a criminal law, a civil law and so on. The bad part is when this laws don't harmonize... But there are always some ways to solve any conflict between them.
