WHAT IS CIVIL LITIGATION?
Civil Litigation involves legal disputes that are not criminal in nature, and guilt does not have to be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt as it does in criminal cases. However, convincing evidence on one side or the other can decide the outcome of a civil case. Landlord/tenant disputes, marital conflicts, and contract disputes are several examples of cases that fall under the Civil Litigation category.
