Civil Litigation Searches
Civil Lawsuits, commonly referred to as Civil Litigation or Civil Actions, are court proceedings initiated by a plaintiff(s) to seek legal, monetary, or equitable relief from another party referred to as the defendant(s). In a civil lawsuit, the defendant(s) may also file a claim or cross-action against the plaintiff(s) to seek legal, monetary, or equitable relief. If a case is not settled between the parties, a trial takes place and the court or jury will then issue a judgment in favor of the prevailing party. A judgment can consist of monetary damages, court orders, injunctions, or other court resolutions.Civil lawsuits are filed at all levels of government including local court systems, state court systems, and federal court systems. Within each court system, there are different courts assigned the authority or jurisdiction to process various types of civil matters. Most commonly these courts are called small claims courts, limited jurisdiction courts, and general jurisdiction courts. These courts process all types of case matters from evictions to complex litigation, with the exception of bankruptcy or criminal matters.
