A: In civil court, (a civil suit) one party, (the plaintiff) who feels he/she has been harmed and suffered damages brings a complaint against another party, (the defendant.) The government can also be one of the parties in a civil court case. In civil cases, reasonable doubt is not required. A, "preponderance," of evidence is sufficient in most cases. The plaintiff can ask for monetary relief, or equitable relief. Monetary relief is when the plaintiff asks for a cash award to remedy the situation. Equitable relief is when the plaintiff asks for the court to order the defendant to do, or not to do something.In criminal court, the government, (the plaintiff) brings suit against, (prosecutes) a person, (the defendant) who they believe has committed a crime/broken the law.In criminal court, the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. If the defendant is convicted, he/she will serve time in jail, pay fines/restitution, have a criminal record, etc.
