Compare and contrast civil and criminal law.
What will be an ideal response?
Civil law and criminal law differ in terms of their process and the identities of both parties. In civil law, which deals with the rights of private citizens, conflicts between private individuals and resulting injuries are decided by the court. In criminal law, individuals commit conduct deemed so harmful to society that it is prohibited by statute, and this behavior is prosecuted and punished by the government. Criminal law cases are always filed by the government against the defendant, whereas civil cases are filed by individuals against each other.
