I believe I was denied my civil rights in family court, 15 years ago. Is there a statute of limitations on civil rights cases? 3 years from the onset of the 1983 violation. That's it folks.

Chief justice Earl Warren had seen a number of cases during his time in the supreme court. His most notable though was his ruling on civil rights cases, which ended segregation in the school systems.
All cases start out in lower local courts to be heard. After the initial verdict the party that feels that they should have gotten a different outcome they will appeal. The Supreme Court is the highest court of appeals and the verdicts can be fought all the way to them.

For civil cases, two types of verdicts are rendered; general and special. The verdict need not be unanimous, a 3:4 will suffice. General verdict, the jury has decided the case either in favour of the defendant or the claimant (plantiff) Special verdict, a general decision is not announced (obviously) and rather the jury has answered certain factual questions, leaving the complete decision up to the court itself.
Most criminal cases result in a plea bargain or trial verdict, while civil cases often settle out of court. Ultimately, the outcome depends on the available evidence, legal arguments, and decisions made by the parties involved.
In court cases, earlier cases can set what is called a precedent. If the court has delivered a verdict on a particular circumstance, it becomes the rule for future cases.
