The process of suing someone in court is known as civil litigation. Lawsuits can involve a wide array of legal issues including contract, employment, intellectual property, partnership and real property laws. Civil litigation is complicated because the parties must understand the substantive law that applies to their situation as well as the procedural rules which govern how each side presents its case to the court. Ideally, both sides should be represented by an attorney who will strongly advocate for their position and help ensure that their rights are protected.
