It's a Criminal Court.
In neither civil nor criminal court will the same case be heard twice, unless it can be shown that the decision was faulty, in which case you need to choose a new court (civil) or move up to a higher court like Appellate court (criminal) or Supreme court (criminal)
Appellate courts are technically not classified as criminal or civil since those kinds of of trials are not held there. In addition appellate courts hear both civil and criminal appeals. There is no separate criminal appellate court or civil appellate court.
civil court is where lawsuits are heard as opposed to criminal court where crimes are heard.
The U.S. Supreme Court is the final court of appeal for both civil and criminal law.
It means that that court can hear both criminal or civil cases. Either a criminal case can be filed and heard in that court, OR a civil case can be filed and heard in that court. For instance: most(all?) state circuit courts fit this description.
There are no advantages or disadvantages. Civil court is where alleged violations of civil law are heard, and criminal court is where alleged violations of criminal law are heard. Each court is segregated into hearing their particular assigned areas of the law.
Most copyright cases are handled in civil court (or even resolved before they reach court at all), but extreme, systemic infringement can be brought to higher courts and even receive criminal penalties such as jail time.
There is no such thing as mixing civil and criminal actions in the same court action. If criminal charges arise as a result of a civil case action they will be charged and prosecuted seperately from the civil trial.
the two main categories of Law are criminal and civil. Civil is dealing with things such as divorce and is tried in county court and the crown court civil division. Criminal Law is dealing with crimes from theft to murder and things which break the laws outline by whatever country you live in. These crimes are tried in magistrates and crown court. Both can appeal to the high court and the supreme court if allowed a route to appeal.
