In Taiwan, litigation may be divided into three categories: civil, criminal and administrative. Common courts hear civil and criminal cases while administrative courts examine administrative cases.
(A) Civil Litigation

(B) Criminal Litigation
Criminal procedure in Taiwan operates under the system of Three Instances at Three Levels. After the first instance decided at the level of a district court, the complainant may appeal to the higher court. The complainant may further appeal to the Supreme Court if he/she disagrees with the verdict at the second instance. Since the Supreme Court is the highest court of appeals, the case will be decided as final and binding on parties. Certain cases involving offenses against the internal security of the State, offenses against the external security of the State and offense involving interference with relations between States are decided exclusively by the Supreme Court.
