	Legal case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A civil case, more commonly known as a lawsuit begins when a plaintiff files a document called a complaint with a court, informing the court of the wrong that the plaintiff has allegedly suffered because of the defendant, and requesting a remedy.
		A criminal case begins when a person suspected of a crime is indicted by a grand jury or otherwise charged with the offense by a government official called a prosecutor or district attorney.
		Like a civil case, a criminal case may also be settled before a trial through a plea bargain, in which the accused confesses to the crime in exchange for a particular sentencing recommendation.
