In civil proceedings, the parties are called plaintiffs and defendants, and in criminal proceedings, they are called defendants. The defendant's lawyer and the parties may go to the people's court to consult the litigation materials submitted by the other party. Plaintiff refers to a person who brings a lawsuit to the court in his own name to protect the civil rights and interests of himself or others he manages, thus causing a civil lawsuit. Defendant According to the laws of our country, in criminal proceedings, the party accused of a crime by the public prosecution agency is called the "defendant". However, in civil and commercial cases and administrative cases, the parties are called "defendants", and the party that caused the lawsuit is called "plaintiff", which means that only in criminal cases can there be the title of "defendant". ?
