	Civil procedure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Civil procedure is the written set of rules that sets out the process that courts will follow when hearing cases of a civil nature (a "civil action").
		California is the odd exception in that its homegrown civil procedure system is enshrined in statutory law (the Code of Civil Procedure), not in rules promulgated by the state supreme court or the state bar association.
		These are collectively known as the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 and in all but some very confined areas replaced the older Rules of the Supreme Court (applicable to the High Court of Justice) and the County Court Rules.

	Civil Divorce Procedure & Biblical Putting Away: Are They Synonymous?

		Yet, some assume the action is completed with the judge's gavel at the end of the civil proceedings, assume the text says such, bind it as divine law, and accuse one of teaching error for opposing their assumptions and human edicts.
		Yet, advocates of this human doctrine seek to mandate one procedure as the only means to "put away" the guilty, despite the fact that Scripture nowhere binds that procedure as the sole action by which putting away is accomplished.
