Examples of civil cases are tort cases (personal injury mostly), breach of contract, debt collection, divorce, probate, foreclosure, adoptions, name change, injunction, declaratory judgment, partition and actions in lieu of prerogative writs to name a few. Anything that is not a criminal action is a civil action.

What is style of the case?

The "style of the case" refers to the way a legal case is presented, typically including the names of the parties involved, the court in which the case is being heard, and the case number. It serves to identify the litigation and can indicate whether the case is civil or criminal. For example, in a civil case, the style might read "Smith v. Jones," whereas in a criminal case, it could be "State v. Smith." The style is crucial for legal documentation and references.

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.
