A civil case is when one person sues another for some wrong done to them.  If the jury thinks the person is guilty, they will award money to the victim.  Unlike criminal cases, guilt does not have to be proven beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt in civil trials.  Example, OJ Simpson.  He was not found guilty (even though he was) in criminal court, so his wife's family could have (I can't remember if they actually did or not) sued him in a civil court.  If found guilty, he would be fined however much the jury felt was fair.

There must be a defendant in the caser or there is not case.  This means a defendant who can mount a defense.  In the case of a dead person they can't do that so there is no case.

Civil Law encompasses the issues of tort claims, money, probate, common law, divorces, family law and issues where law enforcement is not involved. Traffic accident claims, insurance issues and things that do not involve crimes. Civil actions do not usually involve jail. They involve settlements for stuff like personal injury, juvenile law, adoptions, divorces and the like. \n\nCriminal law involves the treatment of people who break the law and are victims of crimes. Robberies, murders, burglaries, and anything else you can go to jail for and be charged with are crimes and are under the jurisdiction of criminal law.

It can't be handled in one trial.  Theft is criminal, and malicious prosecution and breach of contract are civil.  The DA won't touch them.  If you don't have a lawyer to bargain with the DA, then your best bet is to sit tight, gather your evidence, and defend yourself at the criminal trial.  If the DA wins, your case may be sunk; but if the DA loses you will be in a better position to sue the witness whom you believe lied.  You can sue in civil court, and you might be able to sue in Small Claims without a lawyer.

If this is for a school assignment your school might have lexis nexus, which is a database to find cases.  I have access using my university's library system.\n\nYou might also want to try the county websites or even the state's website.

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON CIVIL CASES IS THREE YEARS.  REMEMBER AS IN ALL CASES IN THE U.S. COURT SYSTEM.  THE BURDEN OF PROOF LIES WITH THE ACCUSER.  YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVE BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT THE EX AND HIS WIFE WERE RESPOSIBLE FOR YOUR TEMINATION FROM YOUR JOB.  NOT REALLY LIKELY THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT.  THE BOSS PROBABLY WON'T WANT TO TESTIFY THAT THIS WAS THE REASON.

It means that certain courts have jurisdiction over certain types of cases.  For example, if you sue somebody for a car wreck and you want $50,000, the Circuit Ct or District Ct (Depending on State it might be called something different) has original jurisdiction and the Civil Appeals Court would have appellate Jurisdiction.  That case could not have been brought in the Civil Appeals Court to begin with.  That is the easiest way to explain it, but it can be more complicated than that.

Go online and find the state or federal website with the courts.   Click on "view case history" or "minute entries"....or words similar to these.  Each State is different.  Good Luck

You can go to free site, FindLaw, or just try to Google "United States v. Rosado-Fernandez" and see what you get. If you have Westlaw or Lexis you can use those
