Civil Liability:

Article 203 of the Ecology Law deals with environmental responsibility, meaning that all persons are obliged to redress any damages caused to the environment in accordance with the applicable civil legislation. However, Article 203 does not expressly establish responsibility for damages caused to human health. On the other hand, Article 204 of the Ecology Law states that, where damages have been caused, those aggrieved may request from environmental authorities that a technical opinion be obtained. Such opinion may be introduced as evidence in civil suits.

liability

Explanation:
Laerte,

responsabilidade civil is often translated as liability, or third party liability. It usually appears in the form of an insurance (seguro de responsabilidade civil), and the common phrase is third party liability insurance. In the context of a school transcript, though, I do not see how that would apply. Hope this helps you somehow.
