Civil caseloads span contracts, domestic relations, property transfer, and government-citizen disputes

Evidence

Other civil cases arise out of domestic relationships, involving such matters as divorce, child support, and adoption. Still others involve the legal transfer of property from one party to another, as occurs through the administration of a will or the handling of the estate of someone who died intestate (without a will). Finally, an important category of civil cases involves the legal relationship between governments and citizens. — G. Alan Tarr, Judicial Process and Judicial…, 1049
