  • In most jurisdictions you have 2 kinds of courts, criminal and civil. Criminal is the government accusing a person or entity of breaking a law and saying they should be punished (fines, confinement, death, etc). Civil is a person or entity accusing another person or entity of harming them in some way and saying they should be punished with a fine. Both trials can technically happen at the same time but they tend to avoid doing that for various reasons.
