EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRIMINAL AND CIVIL COURTS? (Be specific)
CIVIL: These cases deal with disputes between private parties, such as individuals or organizations, over rights, obligations, or damages. Common examples include contract disputes, property issues, family law matters (like divorce), and torts (like personal injury claims). The primary objective is to provide relief to the aggrieved party, often in the form of monetary compensation or specific performance.
CRIMINAL: These involve actions that are considered offenses against the state or society as a whole. Criminal cases arise when someone violates laws designed to protect public safety and order. Examples include theft, murder, assault, and drug trafficking. The main goal is to punish the offender and deter future crimes, with penalties that may include imprisonment, fines, or community service.
