Basics of Civil Law

Civil law is one of the two main branches of law, distinct from criminal law. While criminal law deals with offenses against the state (like theft or assault) and aims to punish offenders, civil law focuses on resolving disputes between private parties. This means individuals, businesses, or other organizations.

The primary goal in civil law isn't punishment, but usually to:
* Compensate the injured party (e.g., through monetary damages).
* Resolve disputes (e.g., ordering someone to fulfill a contract).
* Protect rights (e.g., property rights, privacy rights).
