Civil law concerns disputes among citizens within a country and public law concerns disputes between citizens and the state or between one state and another.
The main difference between civil and criminal procedures is that sometimes a private citizen can bring a criminal prosecution against another citizen, but criminal actions are mostly started by the state. Civil action is usually started by individuals.
The party bringing a crimanl action (that is, in most cases, the state) is called the prosecution, but the party bringing a civil action is the palintiff. In both kinds of action the other party is known as the defendant.
Although there are many point of contact between criminal and civil law. If the loser of civil case refuses to comply with the order made against him, for example to pay money to the winner for the action, the procedures for forcing him to comply may result in a criminal proscution.
