People engage in activities on a daily basis that have legal significance, although it almost always goes unnoticed until a problem or a dispute arises. It would be impossible to list all matters that fall into a category like “civil litigation.” Simply put, the Court of Common Pleas [civil court] is a forum for members of the public to have disputes resolved.

What is Civil Litigation?
Civil litigation refers to the resolution of legal disputes between individuals or organizations in court. As a broad practice, it can be considered the procedural component of many areas of substantive law, including tort, contract, and property disputes. Academically, this area is known as
civil procedure or
trial advocacy. It is governed by a strict set of rules, such as the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure and corresponding state rules. A lawsuit typically begins with the filing of a
complaint, followed by
discovery—a pretrial process during which each side can obtain evidence from the other. The purpose of a trial is to obtain legal relief, typically in the form of damages or an injunction. While many cases settle before trial, trial is the preparatory stage. Skills in this area extend beyond presenting arguments in court and also include factual investigation, filing motions, and negotiating settlements.
