  3. Once a lawsuit gets underway, parties to the lawsuit or their lawyers start gathering information related to the lawsuit. • This investigative process is aptly named "discovery," because it often turns up facts and documents that were previously unknown -- to at least one party to the lawsuit anyway.

  4. Civil Law determines private rights and liabilities, whereas Criminal Law concerns offenses against the authority of the state • Litigation is simply another term for a lawsuit, which is a dispute between two or more parties regarding civil or criminal law issues.

  5. Many people will be familiar with the fact that in civil and criminal cases there are different standards of proof. They might also be aware that in criminal cases there is a presumption of innocence, so that the burden of proof falls on the prosecution.

  6. The parties in a criminal lawsuit are different from those in a civil action. In criminal cases, the public, through the authority of the statee (or, if federal, the United States), brings the accused criminal (the defendant) to court to determine his or her guilt or innocence.
