The Civil Law Tradition is a legal system that originated in Europe and is based on written laws and statutes. It emphasizes comprehensive legal codes that cover various areas of law, such as contracts, property, and torts. This system is prevalent in many countries, including those influenced by the Roman Law tradition. In the Civil Law Tradition, judges play a less active role in shaping the law compared to the Common Law system. Their primary function is to apply the existing laws to cases, rather than creating new legal precedents. This approach aims for consistency and predictability in legal outcomes.
