Best Answer

The Chief Justice has as much right to bring civil legal action against someone as any other citizen, and would be required to follow the same court procedures as everyone else, including filing the case in the appropriate lower court.

Supreme Court justices can't use the power of their positions to escalate a case to higher court (especially the US Supreme Court) or receive special privileges. On the other hand, they're not prohibited from using the law to address grievances that can't be settled outside of court.
