The CCP’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) in 2017 also identified 22 people on its “most wanted list,” 10 of whom were living in the U.S.
Early federal and state civil procedure in the United States was rather ad hoc and was based on traditional common law procedure but with much local variety. There were varying rules that governed different types of civil cases such as "actions" at law or "suits" in equity or in admiralty; these differences grew from the history of "law" and "equity" as separate court systems in English law.
