Evan W. Granowitz: An Overview of Civil Litigation and its Sub-Classes

Evan W. Granowitz, a civil litigator working with Wolf Group LA, specializes in the various complex sub-classes of civil litigation. Unlike criminal law, civil law (civil litigation) deals with disputes between individuals or organizations. In such cases, compensation is awarded to the victim. Civil law also tends to correct a wrong or honor an agreement or contract, and is thus considered as a legal and civilized form of impartial justice.

Defining Civil Law

Civil law is rooted in the civil code and covers an extensive range of disputes that could occur between individuals and/or organized bodies. Civil law also corresponds with common law and therefore involves issues on Family, Property, Wills, Contracts, and Torts. As a specialist in civil litigation disputes, Evan W. Granowitz counsels and represents clients in breach of contract disputes, unfair competition, business torts, bankruptcy litigation, insurance coverage disputes, and other complex aspects covered by the sub-classes of law under civil law.

Sub-Classes of Civil Litigation/Law

Contract Law is one of these sub-classes; it deals with contracts between organized bodies or individuals. A contract is defined as a "legally binding agreement between two or more parties which, if it contains the elements of a valid legal agreement, is enforceable by law," and any dispute on the contract’s key points falls under this law’s category.

Another large area is in Property Law, which relates to the laws and issues centered on various forms of ownership in real property (which can be from land to personal possessions and movable property). Land falls under immoveable possessions or real estate/property, while movable property corresponds to personal possessions and the associated rights therein.
