| | Judicial system - definition of Judicial system in Encyclopedia |
 | | Procedural law are rules and regulations found in an legal system that regulate access to legal institutions such as the courts, including the filing of private lawsuits and regulating the treatment of defendants and convicts by the public criminal justice system. | | | In the context of most legal systems, laws are enacted through the processes of constitutional charter, constitutional amendment, legislation, executive order, rulemaking, and adjudication; within Common law jurisdictions, rulings by judges are an important additional source of legal rules. | | | Communication between legal systems is the focus of legal translation and legal lexicography, which deals with the principles of producing a law dictionary. |

| | The Judicial System |
| | The judiciary in Russia is not a single whole; it is split into three branches: the regular court system with the Supreme Court at the top, the arbitration co urt system with the High Court of Arbitration on top, and the Constitutional Co urt as a single body with no courts under it. | | | Direct appeal to a higher court (in the Russian legal system the appellate proc edure is called "cassational review") is not the only way for a party to compla in against a trial court decision. | | | Apart from the arbitration court system, the re are no courts of special jurisdiction in Russia like those handling domestic relations or probate disputes. |
