A case that is not a criminal case is considered a civil law case. A lot of civil law focuses on making sure people are made whole again by compensating them for being treated wrongly or unfairly. Often times civil cases involve disputes over contracts, money, housing, small claims, etc. 

Civil law also addresses matters that are heard only in the civil courts in this state as required by law. For example, uncontested divorces, child support, and estate administration are matters handled in civil courts or under the jurisdiction of the Clerk of Court in each county. 

Documents that need to be drafted also fall under civil law in this state. This would include last will and testaments, general powers of attorney, living wills and healthcare powers of attorney.
