Criminal vs. Civil Court: What’s the Difference? 

In this LawCall segment, the attorneys at Perry & Young break down the key differences between criminal and civil court cases. They explain how the burden of proof in criminal court—beyond a reasonable doubt—is much higher than in civil court, which relies on the preponderance of the evidence. This difference can have a huge impact on how cases are handled and what kind of outcomes are possible.
