Adversarial System
An adversarial system is a legal framework where two opposing parties present their cases to an impartial judge or jury. Each side, typically represented by lawyers, aims to prove their arguments and discredit the other side's claims. This system is designed to ensure that both perspectives are heard, allowing for a fair resolution based on evidence and legal principles.
In many countries, including the United States, the adversarial system is a fundamental aspect of the judicial process. It contrasts with inquisitorial systems, where judges play a more active role in investigating cases. The goal of the adversarial approach is to achieve justice through competition and thorough examination of the facts.
