摘要
The legal system in the United States is a parallel-track system comprising federal and state components that have different but similar aspects, including courts, legislatures, executives, and administrative agencies. Important areas of the law affecting the provider include contract, tort, criminal, and administrative law. Lawsuits follow a set pattern, including stages of initiation of the suit, meeting with attorneys, pleadings, possible judgment on the pleadings, discovery, pretrial conferences, trial, and possible appeal.
