Civil Law
Compare
Civil law is a branch of law that deals with disputes between individuals or organizations, typically involving private rights, obligations, and liabilities. It covers areas such as contracts, property, torts (civil wrongs), family law, and inheritance. The goal of civil law is to resolve conflicts, compensate victims, and enforce legal duties. Unlike criminal law, which involves offenses against the state, civil law focuses on resolving personal disputes and awarding compensation or specific actions.
