Civil Litigation
A civil litigation case is one in which at least two parties are involved in a legal dispute. The fact that one or more of these parties is attempting to achieve a monetary settlement distinguishes civil litigation from a case involving criminal sanctions.
Civil litigation cases are decided in the courtroom over the course of a trial. A judge and jury decide these cases, so coming prepared with a civil litigation lawyer is always a good idea. A civil litigation lawyer is also called a litigator or, more colloquially, a trial lawyer.
