A felony is traditionally considered a crime of high seriousness, whereas a misdemeanour is regarded as less serious.

The term "felony" originated from English common law (from the French medieval word "félonie") to describe an offense that resulted in the confiscation of a convicted person's land and goods, to which additional punishments including capital punishment could be added; other crimes were called misdemeanors.

Following conviction of a felony in a court of law, a person may be described as a felon or a convicted felon.

A criminal defense lawyer is a lawyer (mostly barristers) specializing in the defense of individuals and companies charged with criminal activity.

Some criminal defense lawyers are privately retained, while others are employed by the various jurisdictions with criminal courts for appointment to represent indigent persons; the latter are generally called public defenders.

The terminology is imprecise because each jurisdiction may have different practices with various levels of input from country to country.

Some jurisdictions use a rotating system of appointments, with judges appointing a private practice attorney or firm for each case.

In a civil proceeding or criminal prosecution under the common law or under statute, a defendant may raise a defense (or defence) in an effort to avert civil liability or criminal conviction.

A defense is put forward by a party to defeat a suit or action brought against the party, and may be based on legal grounds or on factual claims.

A misdemeanor (American English, spelled misdemeanour elsewhere) is any "lesser" criminal act in some common law legal systems.

Misdemeanors are generally punished less severely than more serious felonies, but theoretically more so than administrative infractions (also known as minor, petty, or summary offences) and regulatory offences.

Typically, misdemeanors are punished with monetary fines or community service.
