What is the purpose of civil court?

To impose or enforce criminal penalties
To resolve disputes
To prosecute offending parties
To resolve civil matters

The correct answer is: To resolve disputes

Civil court is a specific court designed to handle disputes between private parties, as opposed to criminal court which deals with offenses against the state. A is incorrect because criminal penalties are enforced in criminal court, not civil court. C is incorrect because the prosecuting of offenders also occurs in criminal court. D is incorrect because resolving civil matters is the specific purpose of civil court, not just a general aspect.
