Civil litigation

Civil litigation has at least three meanings. It may connote an entire legal system, or either of two different bodies of law within a legal system:

  1. a legal system
  2. the set of rules governing relations between persons (either humans or legal personalities such as corporations); here the contrast is public law, especially criminal law;
  3. Secular law, as opposed to canon law.
