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.

Under Pennsylvania §301, when can an omission support criminal liability?

Liability normally requires conduct that includes a voluntary act, or an omission to perform an act the person was physically capable of performing. An omission is sufficient only when the offense expressly makes it sufficient or another law imposes the duty to act. A mere moral expectation to help is not automatically a legal duty. Identify the duty, ability to act and remaining offense elements.

Under Model Penal Code §2.02, how do purpose, knowledge, recklessness and negligence differ for a prohibited result?

Purpose means causing the result is the person’s conscious objective; knowledge means awareness that the result is practically certain. Recklessness means consciously disregarding a substantial, unjustifiable risk; negligence means failing to perceive such a risk when one should. The latter two require a gross deviation from the relevant standard, not ordinary civil carelessness. Apply the mental state to each statutory element: definitions for circumstances and conduct are not identical to those for results.
