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.

Nível	Frente (Pergunta / Termo)	Verso (Resposta / Explicação)
`basic`	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.
`basic`	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.
`intermediate`	In U.S. contract law, what makes a promise enforceable as a bargain?	Ordinarily, objective mutual assent, sufficiently definite terms and consideration, subject to capacity, legality, required formalities and other defenses. Offer and acceptance are a common way to establish assent. Not every promise is an enforceable bargain, but doctrines such as promissory estoppel can sometimes support enforcement without a conventional exchange. State law governs the precise requirements.
`intermediate`	Which rules govern a U.S. sale of goods, and why must a mixed goods-and-services contract be checked separately?	Start with the governing state’s enacted UCC Article 2 for sales of movable goods; ordinary services and real-estate transfers generally use other law. Mixed-contract tests are not uniform. For example, current Delaware § 2-102 applies Article 2 to a hybrid transaction’s goods aspects even when goods do not predominate; when goods predominate, Article 2 generally applies to the transaction, subject to its stated qualifications.
