<p begin="00:00:05.60" end="00:00:09.40">There are two major kinds of cases that come before our courts.</p>
<p begin="00:00:09.50" end="00:00:15.70">Criminal cases and civil cases and today we’ll try to define each category.</p>
<p begin="00:00:15.80" end="00:00:25.20">A criminal case is when a person is charged with breaking either a state written law called a Statute or a local law called an ordinance.</p>
<p begin="00:00:25.30" end="00:00:31.60">The government brings the action against an individual for some penalty for violating the law.</p>
<p begin="00:00:31.70" end="00:00:39.00">In a civil case one party brings a legal action against another party to correct some alleged wrong.</p>
<p begin="00:00:39.10" end="00:00:45.00">It’s not necessarily a violation of written law but instead a perceived injustice.</p>
<p begin="00:00:45.10" end="00:00:49.50">Such as a broken contract or a case involving negligents of some kind.</p>
<p begin="00:00:49.60" end="00:00:55.00">A civil case usually involves parties asking for money damages to be paid.</p>
<p begin="00:00:55.10" end="00:01:04.01">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
