I:IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CRIME AND A
<TORT, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CIVIL CASE AND A CRIMINAL
.CASE SHOULD BE EASY FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

8WHEN YOU ARE CHARGED WITH A CRIME, YOU ARE INVOLVED
@IN A CRIMINAL CASE IN COURT.  THE COURT WILL DECIDE WHETHER
@YOU COMMITTED THE CRIME YOU ARE ACCUSED OF, AND, IF SO, WHAT
YOUR PUNISHMENT WILL BE.


<ANY TIME YOU GO TO COURT AND YOU ARE NOT INVOLVED IN A 
DCRIMINAL CASE, YOU ARE INVOLVED IN A CIVIL CASE.  THIS INCLUDES
@ALL TORTS--WHEN SOMEONE MIGHT BE SUING YOU FOR AN INJURY OR
DDAMAGES--AND SUITS FOR OTHER MATTERS, SUCH AS BREACH OF CONTRACT
OR DIVORCE.

IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE:
4     A CRIMINAL CASE OCCURS WHEN YOU ARE ACCUSED
:     OF A CRIME.  IF YOU ARE FOUND GUILTY, YOU WILL BE
     PUNISHED.

<     A CIVIL CASE OCCURS MAINLY WHEN THERE IS A DISPUTE
<     BETWEEN TWO INDIVIDUALS.  THE COURT DECIDES WHO IS
,     RIGHT.  BUT THERE IS NO PUNISHMENT.

<NOW, JUST TO BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND, LET'S TRY A COUPLE
OF EXAMPLES.
