A procedure is a series of activities, tasks, steps, decisions, calculations and other processes, that when undertaken in the sequence laid down produces the described result, product or outcome. Following a procedure should produce repeatable results for the same input conditions.
Recorded procedures are usually called instructions or recipes. High-level procedures are sometimes known as methods.
For example, the procedure for baking a cake from a packet mix may consist of the following steps:
Pre-heating the oven.
Opening the mix box.
Mixing the batter.
Putting the cake in.
Removing it when it's done.
In mathematics and science, a procedure, or algorithm, is a sequence of tasks or calculations that accomplish some goal.
In computer science, procedure is a subprogram, generally one which returns or is intended to return no direct result to its caller.

Civil procedure is the written set of rules that sets out the process that courts will follow when hearing cases of a civil nature (a "civil action").
These rules explain how a lawsuit must be commenced, what kind of service of process is required, the types of pleadings, motions, and orderss allowed in civil cases, the timing and manner of depositions and discovery, the conduct of trials, the process for judgment, various available remedies, and how the courts and clerks must function.
In the United States, the model for most state courts is the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, first adopted on September 16, 1938 before which time there were varying rules that governed different types of civil cases such as cases at law or in equity or in admiralty.
