When we talk about criminal law and civil law, it's interesting how different they are.

Criminal Law
Criminal law is about cases where someone is accused of breaking the law and doing something wrong against society. Here are some common examples of criminal law:

1. Theft: This is when someone takes something that doesn’t belong to them without permission.
2. Assault: Causing harm to another person is a serious crime.
3. Murder: This is when someone illegally kills another person. It’s one of the worst crimes.
4. Drug offenses: Having or dealing with illegal drugs is also part of criminal law.
5. Fraud: This happens when someone tricks others to get money or something valuable.

Civil Law
On the other hand, civil law is about problems between people or groups. It focuses more on solving issues and helping those who have been wronged, instead of punishing anyone. Here’s what civil cases usually include:

• Breach of contract: If someone doesn’t keep their part of an agreement, the other person can go to court to get help.
• Personal injury: If someone gets hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, they can be taken to court.
• Divorce: The legal process of ending a marriage and dividing property falls under civil law.
• Property disputes: Problems related to who owns property or disagreements between landlords and tenants are handled in civil court.

So, the big difference is who is involved in the case and what they want. In criminal cases, the government is involved and aims to punish bad actions. In civil cases, it's usually people looking for solutions or help. It’s really about the kind of problem being addressed!
