Here's a good explanation from a 2008 italki answer http://www.italki.com/question/36529

Civic is usually used when talking about a city or citizenship - ie "civic duty" - duty towards one's city. Civil is similar but a little more general indicating a relation to the community as a whole rather than to a particular city. Hence "civil rights". Civil can, of course, also mean polite.
