"Procedural law" could be described as the "rules of the game" in criminal cases.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The laws are designed to assure that judicial process in the U.S. or equal justice in other common law countries is applied fairly and uniformly to all cases brought before a trial. This law refers to procedures which bring and continue a lawsuit or other legal action.
In some jurisdictions known as remedial or rules of court or adjective or procedural law, contains the laws by which a court listens and decides what occurs in civil, litigation, criminal or administrative proceedings.
The most common way for a case to reach the Supreme Court is on appeal from a circuit court. A party seeking to appeal a decision of a circuit court can file a petition to the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari.
