In civil court, the Rules of Civil Procedure are followed, either the State rules or the federal rules if the court is federal. One person brings a lawsuit, serving a summons on the defendant, then the defendant has a certain period of time to ANSWER (often 20 days). Motions are made and then the matter is heard before the court (either a Bench Trial or a Jury Trial), or the parties can settle before the case is heard in the court.
