Civil court cases are a way for people to try to gain compensation for damages caused to them. It differs from criminal court in that the end result is a monetary amount given out as opposed to jail time or other punishments. Some people choose to try a criminal act in civil court in addition to a criminal investigation as the results of a criminal trial will not directly benefit the victim or the victim's family.

A civil suit can be brought in either a federal or state court?
In most cases I have read the civil cases heard at the Federal level are cases that directly question someone's rights and apply to a large number of people. The cases heard at a local level can also be promoted to Federal cases. For example if you have a property dispute with your neighbor it will not go to federal court; however, if you have a court that disputes whether its legal for you to carry a concealed weapon or practice free speech you could proceed to the Federal Court.

Which court will resolve easement cases?
If a suit is brought it will have to be brought in civil court. If it is a dedicated easement recorded and on file in the county land records I would counsel trying to settle the problem before it reaches that stage though. If it is already recorded in the law, it is pretty simple to judge how the court will rule on it.
