In criminal cases, the courts, local, state, and federal law enforcement will handle enforcing the final judgment. In civil lawsuits, all parties are left to enforce the judgment themselves or file further motions to get help from the courts. For example, if the winner is a creditor, they may not initiate garnishment of wages unless the court orders it. If someone wins a money judgment or is awarded personal property, they may have difficulty collecting it without the help of a lawyer or filing additional court motions.
