CRIMINAL LAW

Criminal law involves prosecution from the government of a person who has been charged with an act that has been classified as a crime. Crimes are categorized as felonies or misdemeanors. A felony is a serious misconduct (like murder or drug trafficking) that is punishable by imprisonment of more than one year or by death. 

A misdemeanor is a less serious misconduct (like petty theft or damaging property) that results in less than 12 months imprisonment, community service, or fines.
