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.

Criminal Lawsuits, commonly referred to as Criminal Cases or Criminal Proceedings, are court proceedings initiated by a government agency representing the people (most commonly referred to as the District Attorney's Office) to seek justice for a crime allegedly committed by the defendant. The attorney representing the interest of the people is called the prosecutor, while the attorney representing the defendant is either a public defender or private criminal defense attorney. In few cases, the defendant will actually represent himself/herself. If the defendant pleads innocent, then a trial will take place unless a plea bargain is made between the prosecutor and defendant. At the end of the trial, the judge or jury will issue a verdict based the information presented during trial using the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt." Typically sentencing takes places soon thereafter and results in monetary fines, probation, incarceration, and/or other court sentencing options.
