民事案件

民事案件 are actions brought to enforce, redress, or protect private rights. In general, they are all types of actions other than criminal proceedings. With the exception of family violence cases, these cases tend to be custom prepared to fit the particular circumstance in which the plaintiff was aggrieved.  Everyone has the Constitutional Right to pursue legal actions on their own; however, because of unfamiliarity of legal procedures, it would be wise to seek the advice of an attorney when pursuing litigation at the 高等法院 level.State law prohibits the Clerk and all deputy clerks from giving any type of legal advice.
