In common, civil and criminal law are defined to allow people to know when something right or wrong has been done. However, civil law includes simple things like proper way to file for a divorce or apply for a marriage license. Civil law tells you how to run for office, how to register as a voter, how to file complaints against a governmental agency. Those are items of civil law. However, civil law can also be the basis of a trial sometimes.
When you get to trials, civil law is the set of laws used when someone is monetarily or otherwise injured by another, and the injured party doesn’t want to press charges. Instead, the injured party seeks some form of restitution. Civil laws are the basis for lawsuits, torts, and various actions that lead to either monetary awards or specific types of legal orders. When a civil injunction has been filed, violating the terms of the injunction becomes a criminal act, Contempt of Court, but otherwise, there is jail time and not civil fine associated with a civil action (usually no fine, anyway.)
Criminal law, on the other hand, seeks to punish someone for an action. By tradition, criminal law is used when someone is injured physically, or when property has been damaged, or somene has been killed. Murder, robbery, assault, kidnapping, theft, etc. – all things that involve criminal harm.
When you lose a case under civil law, there is no criminal record of the action, but there is a record of a civil judgement against you. Losing a civil case doesn’t send you to jail unless you violate the terms of the judgement.
When you lose a case under criminal law, there is a criminal record of the action and you might face fines, penalties, or jail time. You can be arrested for the act if it is illegal under criminal law.
If you want the short memory aid, civil trial law is all about restitution, whereas criminal law is all about retribution.
Civil law is usually one individual or company enforcing rights against another individual or company. The State has no involvement other than providing a court system to make it possible, and to enforce any judgment. (Although the state can be sued or sue in civil court they have no greater status than any other litigant)
Criminal law is action by the state to punish transgressions of a code providing that some things cannot be done. The state is an active participant and imposers punishment on convicted people.
