Here a few more terms it might be helpful to be familiar with somewhere down the line. 

Civil Liability – A sum of money assessed against a defendant. It may be single, double, or treble the original amount of actual damages.

Clear and Convincing Proof – Proof beyond a reasonable doubt; evidence that has convinced an unbiased jury, composed of competent, reasonable jurors.

Consequential Damages – Loss or injury that results indirectly. As an example, a store owner who has a fire loses not only goods and fixtures that have been burned, but he loses what he would have earned had there been no fire and he could have continued to sell his merchandise.

Co-signer – Someone who signs a document along with another person or persons, often assuming obligations to be shared with the other signers.
