There are a couple of important fundamental differences between a criminal action and a civil action. One of the most apparent differences is the nature of the cause of action underlying the suit. As its name denotes, a criminal action is derived from a past crime that has been committed. A civil action, on the other hand, does not involve a crime, but rather a private wrong to an individual or a group of individuals. Another fundamental distinction between a criminal and civil action is that the parties go to the court. In a criminal action, the prosecution represents ...

The law suffices for man and its ideal purpose is to provide justice and fairness to all without fear or favour. Statutes in relation to marriages inherently showcase the same spirit of ...

Miranda v. Arizona (1966) was a landmark case that led to the protections afforded suspects against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment of the constitution being clearly spelt out and extended.
