The 'v' in the name of a court case does not stand for 'versus', but for 'and' (in civil proceedings) or 'against' (in criminal proceedings).
The Warren Court (1953-1969)
Criminal proceedings are legal actions that take place in court to determine if a person has committed a crime. These proceedings typically involve charges being filed, evidence being presented, and a trial where guilt or innocence is decided by a judge or jury. The outcome can result in various penalties or consequences for the defendant.
In a criminal court, the burden of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt," meaning the prosecution must prove the defendant's guilt with near certainty. In a civil court, the burden of proof is "preponderance of the evidence," meaning the plaintiff must show that it is more likely than not that their claims are true. This difference impacts legal proceedings by requiring different levels of evidence and making it harder to secure a conviction in criminal court compared to winning a case in civil court.
Criminal contempt involves willful disobedience of a court order that disrupts the court's proceedings, while civil contempt involves failure to comply with a court order to benefit the opposing party in a civil case.
The Sixth Amendment: Criminal Proceedings
was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that criminal defendants have a constitutional right to refuse counsel and represent themselves in state criminal proceedings.
In general, copies of court records in criminal matters can be obtained from the Clerk of the Court. There will be a limited amount of information (almost none) that can be gotten online. You have to show up or get a service to go there and appear for you. The court records (save court-sealed ones) regarding criminal proceedings can be obtained for "costs" at the appropriate clerk's office.
