A civil case is initiated by filing a complaint with the court, which outlines the legal claims and facts of the case. The steps involved in starting a legal proceeding in civil court include filing the complaint, serving the complaint to the defendant, the defendant filing an answer, discovery process, pretrial conferences, and ultimately a trial where the judge or jury decides the outcome of the case.
