"A dispute between two people, when the government's only role is to provide the system for dispute resolution, is civil litigation. Typical remedies in civil cases are judgments for money damages or an order to do something. When the government pursues the action and the potential sanction includes a fine, imprisonment, or even capital punishment, it is criminal litigation." -From, "Law 101" By: Jay M. Feinmn
