Procedural Law is the set of norms and principles that regulate the exercise of jurisdictional activity and the legal relationship that develops between the litigating parties and the political agent.
Jurisdiction - From the study of which derive competence, the judge's powers, requirements for the validity of the sentence, and the double degree of jurisdiction.
Action - A right from which unfolds the study of identifying elements and conditions of exercise, the phenomena of connection, lis pendens, prevention, res judicata, litisconsortium, and forms of process extinction.
Exception (defense) - A right that demonstrates the importance of establishing deadlines and the phenomena of default and early judgment of the dispute.
Process - An informative institution of all rules regarding the procedure, which in turn is the visible expression.
