A vitally important and complex set of rules governs which courts, or nonjudicial bodies, can hear which kinds of legal disputes, and how cases proceed in these venues from initiation to final resolution. Harvard Law has some of the nation’s top experts in civil and criminal procedure, from whom you will gain a deep understanding of federal and state court systems, including which courts have the power to hear and adjudicate particular disputes and the rules and practices by which these courts operate.
