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.

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.
