Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Court uses various terms to identify the role of various parties in civil and criminal litigation, the party that files the lawsuit is called plaintiff and the party against whom the case is files is called defendant. In criminal cases the defendant is the person charged with a crime. Petitioner is the persons that files a petition to ask the court for a ruling while the person who is in opposition to an appeal is called respondent.
