cases

In law, a "case" is a legal dispute brought to court where parties present evidence and arguments to resolve a disagreement or determine whether a law has been broken. Cases can involve criminal issues, like theft or assault, or civil matters, such as contracts or property disputes. The court reviews the facts, applies relevant laws, and makes a decision, called a judgment. Essentially, a case is the story of a specific legal issue, with a formal process to find a fair resolution under the law.
