After laws are made by the legislature, and passes through the governor or the President, they are enacted and then need to be enforced by the executive government. There are different branches that enforce the law, such as the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The different branches or departments might make further changes to the statutes in order to fit their particular area. Do you have a lawsuit that you wish to pursue?

The judicial system is divided between state and federal government. At the state level, there are superior courts, appellate courts and the state supreme court. At the federal level, there are district courts, courts of appeal and then the United States Supreme Court. Superior courts in states are divided by county and handle everything from criminal matters to probate matters. The federal court system is first divided by districts, such as the Northern California District. If either of the parties in the lawsuit is unhappy with the result from the lowest court, then they may appeal the decision to the next level. For the federal government, the court of appeals system is divided into circuits. There are eleven circuits in all, and California is part of the Ninth Circuit, which also includes Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Alaska and Hawaii. If the parties are still unhappy with the result in the court of appeals, then they may appeal to the United States Supreme Court. However, the Supreme Court reviews the cases that are appealing to it, and decide which ones they will hear. Thus, if the case is denied, then the parties will not be able to appeal any further.

The court system is extremely complicated and may include different rules for different courts. For example, local courts may only require two copies to accompany any documents that are filed in the court, but federal courts may require eight or more copies per document filed. If you do not file the documents correctly, that could potentially end your case. So, it would be best if you had an experienced attorney by your side.
