Civil Litigation
General Civil Litigation
Civil Litigation simply refers to lawsuits filed by individuals or businesses which seek to enforce a legal right or remedy. This action is also known as a tort – an act of wrongdoing or infringement of another person’s rights that initiates a civil action. Often times, the remedy sought is in the form of a money judgment, but it could be an order for other relief, such as the return of personal or real property (replevin or detinue), stopping an action (injunction, temporary restraining order, cease and desist) or specific performance.

Contract Litigation stems directly from Civil Litigation and is the area of law most associated with civil litigation. A contract is an agreement creating obligations enforceable by law. The basic elements of a contract are mutual assent, consideration, capacity, and legality. Typically, the contract is reduced to writing but a verbal agreement can be held a valid contract between the parties. Possible remedies for breach of contract include general damages, consequential damages, reliance damages, and specific performance.
