What is an example of a civil and criminal case?
Civil and Criminal cases are never litigated at the same time in the same court. However, the same transaction (or sequence of events) may lead to both civil and criminal proceedings. For example, O.J. Simpson was prosecuted and subsequently acquitted for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in a criminal court. However, he was sued for wrongful death by the families of the victims, found liable, and ordered to pay damages in a later civil suit.

What must be resolve first in a case is it the criminal aspect or the civil aspect?
If there are, in fact, both a criminal and a civil side to the incident, the criminal aspect will be handled first. The "state's" (i.e.: the "people's") interests in prosecuting a crime take precedence over the civil wrong against an individual. (Think the O.J. Simpson case.) Traditionally, the criminal matter will be decided first. This is primarily because proceeding with the civil case can prejudice a criminal defendant's rights. The civil case will wind up stalled because the criminal defendant can refuse to comply with civil discovery by asserting the right to remain silent. Admissions or statements given in a civil case could be employed against the criminal defendant. As a practical matter the civil case cannot proceed until there is a resolution of the criminal matter. For further information see the related links below.
