Answer 1

I believe the answer is: The District Attorney's case was a criminal case; Jane's lawsuit was a civil case.

A case is considered to be a criminal case if the government is the one that sue the defendant for the things that the defendant did in the past. A case would be considered as a civil case if both the person who sue and the defendant are blonged to the citizens group.
