inquestorial is right.. it's particularly on the judge.. civil judge gets to question n examine witness n go investigate evidence themselves.. n common adverse parties jsut present case to an impartial judge that only listen n determine the sentence..

but both is adversarial.. because both system still adverse each other because they both still again each other.. trying to win the battle

The civil law system is the legal system used in European countries. Civil law is just things like private law (eg. torts, property etc.)

Anyway I have a scribe so I've got a copy of the question sheet for short answer cos I took my scribes copy. So yeah here's the exact wording

'Outline the differences between the common law system and the civil law system.' (5 marks)

All I put was Adverserial and Inquestitorial and that in the civil system the judge gathers the evidence where as in the common law system the two sides gather the evidence individually.
