What is the difference between a civil case and a criminal case?
An appeal to a civil case would go straight to the Supreme Court, while with a criminal
case it would go to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Criminal cases deal with someone who is accused of breaking the law, while civil cases
deal with disputes between people or groups.
Civil cases deal with someone who has been arrested for violating policy, while criminal
cases deal with private conflicts between individuals.
O Criminal cases have a jury to decide the verdict, while civil cases are all decided by a judge
and do not have jurors to determine a verdict.
