American Legal System

For starters, a Trial Court is were litigation begins. BUT before a state or federal court can hear a case it must have Jurisdiction, authority vested in a particular court to hear and decide the issues in a particular case.

Original Jurisdiction is when courts that hear a case first. These courts will determine the facts of the case.

On the other hand, Criminal law is codes of behavior related to protection of property and individual safety. in Criminal law it assumes that SOCIETY itself is the victim of the illegal act. So, the government prosecutes on behalf of an injured party.
