What Is Civil Litigation?
Civil litigation is a legal process that deals with disputes between individuals, organizations, or businesses. It differs from criminal cases, which involve the prosecution of an individual by the state for violating laws. Civil litigation generally involves lawsuits seeking monetary damages or specific actions to be taken by one party against another.
Examples of issues that civil litigation can resolve include the following:
- Personal injury
- Business disputes
- Employment disputes
- Real estate disputes
- Torts
- Class actions

How Does a Civil Lawsuit Work?
In civil litigation, the person initiating the lawsuit is called the plaintiff, while the person being sued is called the defendant. The plaintiff has the burden of proving their case by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning that it’s more likely than not that their claims are true.
The process of civil litigation typically begins with the plaintiff filing a complaint outlining their claims against the defendant. The defendant then has the opportunity to respond to the complaint by filing an answer and potentially counterclaims of their own. Both parties may engage in discovery, which involves exchanging information and evidence related to the case.
Civil litigation also involves pre-trial motions, where either party can request certain actions or decisions from the court before the case goes to trial. These can include motions to dismiss, which seek to end the case before trial, or motions for summary judgment, which ask the court to make a decision based on the evidence without going to trial.
If a settlement cannot be reached through negotiations between the parties, the case proceeds to trial. During the trial, both sides present their arguments and evidence to a judge or jury who ultimately decide the outcome of the case.
After a verdict is reached, either party may appeal the decision if they believe there were errors in the legal process or that the outcome was unjust. Appeals can extend the litigation process even further and may involve complex legal arguments and briefs.
