How do common-law and civil-law traditions generally differ, and why is 'case law versus codes' only a shorthand?

Common-law traditions give judicial precedent a prominent role; civil-law traditions emphasize systematic legislative codes. Both use legislation and judicial decisions. The authority of a decision depends on the court and jurisdiction; some civil-law decisions are binding. A legal system can combine traditions.

What is the usual contrast between adversarial and inquisitorial procedure?

Adversarial models emphasize parties presenting and testing their cases before an impartial decision-maker. Inquisitorial models give judges or other judicial authorities greater responsibility for investigating facts. Actual procedures can combine features and differ between civil and criminal matters; these labels are not exact synonyms for common law and civil law.

State the fundamental balance sheet accounting equation.

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity.

How does accrual accounting differ from cash accounting?

Accrual accounting records revenues when earned and expenses when incurred regardless of when cash changes hands; cash accounting records transactions only when cash is received or paid.

A holds land for B’s life and transfers A’s interest to C. When does that life estate end?

At B’s death: B is the measuring life. A transfer changes the holder, not the duration of the estate granted. A life estate can be measured by someone other than its holder, so “it always ends when the tenant dies” is wrong. A fee simple absolute has potentially indefinite duration, but remains subject to applicable law and existing burdens; “absolute” does not mean freedom from all regulation.

Does increasing a property’s value automatically prevent a life tenant’s alteration from being actionable waste?

No. The governing jurisdiction, instrument and future interests matter. New York RPAPL §803 protects qualifying alterations only under stated conditions, including a prudent-owner standard, no reduction of future interests’ market value, compliance with governing instruments, at least five years’ life expectancy or remaining term, and advance notice. Court-fixed security must be furnished when required. A valuable redevelopment is not automatically permissible merely because the neighborhood has changed.
