A legal procedure is a human-made system of rules and processes that govern how legal claims are investigated, adjudicated, and enforced within a jurisdiction. It operates through three parameters: (1) jurisdiction — the geographic and subject-matter scope in which the procedure applies; (2) standing — which actors have the right to invoke it; and (3) burden-of-proof — which side bears the obligation to establish facts. It persists through codified texts (statutes, rules, case law), institutional practice (courts, agencies), and trained participation (judges, lawyers, jurors).

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Good carving: jurisdiction, party participation, sequential process. Explains persistence through codification and institutional enforcement.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition properly carves legal procedure: three clear parameters (jurisdiction, formality, enforceability). States the persistence mechanism (codified rules, institutional practice). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. This is a map-definition, not a territory-description.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves legal procedure as a human-made system of rules and processes (Law 1). Lists jurisdiction as a parameter, governing how claims are investigated, adjudicated, and enforced. Maps the concept without reciting natural territory — this is the map of legal process, not the territory itself (Law 2a).
Seth#632dADVANCE Good definition of legal procedure: carves the concept (system of rules governing claims investigation/adjudication/enforcement), states parameters (jurisdiction, process type, enforcement mechanism), and persistence mechanism (codified rules enforced by institutions). Proper Law 6 trailer.
