Proto-Proposal:  Civil cases revisited

      A criminal case has the additional purpose of punishing the
      guilty.  A civil case's purpose is limited to determining
      guilt; any response to this determination is left to the
      agreement.

Alternate version:

      A criminal case has the additional purpose of punishing the
      guilty.  A civil case's purpose is limited to determining
      guilt, and recommending a course of action for punishing the
      guilty and compensating any damaged parties; implementing
      this course of action is left to the agreement.
