To take a person to court is called what?

There are a couple of different ways to answer this, because the question is vague the way it is framed. The easiest way to answer this is "SUE" but these the following, (which I did not add) are good too. "Taking the person to court" as a law enforcement officer might be called "extraditing" if they're taking them to another court jurisdiction. Subpoenas are issued to summon a person to court in some cases. Filing suit against another person is called... Well.. Suing. Sometimes it's called "litigation" as well. To give a specific answer to your question we would need a more specific context of "taking someone to court." In what way? As a law enforcement officer? As a judge? As a plaintiff? As a defendant? As a part of a civil suit or part of a criminal suit? Other questions could apply as well. To get a more specific answer we would need to have a more specific question.
