A criminal case begins with a complaint for a preliminary hearing or an indictment by a grand jury. A civil case starts with a complaint filed by a private plaintiff. There are differences in the procedure because of the rights that are guaranteed to a criminal defendant. A major difference is the standard of proof. In a criminal case for a guilty verdict there must be proof beyond a reasonable doubt. In a civil matter the standard is a preponderance of the evidence, that is it is more likely than not that an event took place. There are many other differences.
