What are examples of civil law?
Generically, a civil suit is one that seeks money damages or equitable remedies (such as an injunction). This is on contrast to a criminal suit. A civil suit can be person vs. person, person vs. other legal entity, or legal entity vs. legal entity. A criminal matter always involves a branch the government against another party (such as a state prosecuting someone for homicide). Therefore, a civil suit can be a breach of contract action, or one based upon injuries sustained by a person due to a defective product.
Which is better common law or civil law?
Civil Law is different from Common Law in where it was derived from and how it is applied. It is important to note, however, that there has been a certain amount of convergence of the two over time. Civil Law is based on Justinian's Code and the more recent Napoleonic Code, resulting in this form being influential on France and many European countries. Common Law however, can be traced back to 12th Century England, which results in many countries of the commonwealth following this form. Civil law involves heavy participation of the judge whereas Common law is adversarial - the prosecution and defense duke it out. This means that Civil law cases are way shorter (For example Amanda Knox's trial vs Casey Anthony's trial). Civil law includes applying an abstract set of rules to the facts at hand whereas Common law relies heavily on past precedents and reasoning.

Why does the law place restrictions on our civil rights?
The most controversial issues are those that involve rights in conflict. For example, the right to profit from one's property vs. the right to clean air and water or the right of an unborn child to life vs. the right of women to control their bodies. The government places restrictions on civil rights when the actions of one person may conflict with the rights of another.
Can private law suits result in jail time?
I think what you meant is civil lawsuits, with that being said the answer is no. Civil lawsuits which is person to person is usually for damages (money...). When it is versus the state like State vs John Smith then there is jail time involved. In civil lawsuits the plaintiff may ask for for a restraining order though.
