In civil cases, the initial moving party is typically the plaintiff, who initiates the lawsuit by filing a complaint against the defendant. In criminal cases, the initial moving party is the prosecution, which represents the government and brings charges against the defendant. Both parties present their arguments and evidence to the court, but the roles and motivations differ significantly between civil and criminal proceedings.
