A civil case is between two people or organizations; a copyright example would be a photographer suing a publisher in civil court for using one of his images in a book without permission.
A criminal case is between an infringer and the government; this only happens in extreme, extreme infringement cases, such as large-scale piracy. A slight but useful oversimplification of the issue would be to say that a criminal case arises when the infringement is so significant that it impacts the economy.
The difference is in how the state legislature codifies the crime as being one or the other.
Violations of criminal law can result in a monetary fine and/or jail or prison time depending on the severity of the offense.
Civil crime violations are punishable only by fines or judgments or liens against you. No jail time is associated with civil offenses.
The test to determine civil versus criminal is stated under the definition of Corpus Delicti and its test. The third prong of this test is: "a law, either common or statutory, that prevents the conduct" - although this is not the only test, you must then examine the law to see if it is classified as a crime; its existence in the penal code (normally stating that it is a crime, and holds some type of imprisonment). Some laws define actions as civil and not criminal; but in either case a civil case for the action (loss) can be brought against the actor.
Simply put, the difference really lies at the point of punishment; you cannot be jailed for a civil offense, but you can be jailed for a crime.
In criminal cases, you can go to jail if convicted of some kind of crime. In civil cases, you will have a pay a person money.
Guilty and Liable both mean that you are responsible by law. However, you are "liable" in civil cases and determined "guilty" in criminal cases. There is also a difference between state (liable) and federal (guilty).
Civil procedure involves disputes between individuals or organizations, where one party believes their rights have been violated and seeks compensation or resolution. Criminal procedure involves cases where a government entity prosecutes an individual or entity for violating criminal laws, with potential penalties including fines, imprisonment, or other sanctions.
The difference is the type of case each court has jurisdiction over. The Supreme Court of Texas is the state's highest appellate court for civil and juvenile cases; the Court of Criminal Appeals is the state's highest appellate court for criminal cases.
Statute of limitations are set by the state or local government. There is also a difference between bringing criminal charges and suing for civil damages. Typically the criminal charges are longer then civil cases.
Criminal is something against the government while civil is against the public.
