<human>:  What’s the difference between criminal law and civil law?
<bot>: Criminal law is the body of law that deals with the prosecution of individuals who have committed criminal offenses and the punishment of those convicted. Civil law, on the other hand, is the body of law that governs non-criminal disputes, such as disputes between two parties over a contract or a personal injury case. Criminal law focuses on punishing individuals who break the criminal code, while civil law focuses on providing remedies to disputes and restoring relationships between the litigants.
