America uses a civil law system and it's adversial so that isn't really a difference, I mentioned that in my response just to screw anyone who used it. If you named some countries and said that it is a difference usually then I guess you're okay.

hated this question.... meehhh... NO MORE LEGAL!!! woohoo
it's definitely about the SYSTEMS of law... and that's where heaps of people will get tricked... coz if it didn't say systems then it would just be like civil and criminal and stuff...
I did the same as dezzy

bahahaha i got 0/5 then
isn't that criminal and civil cases? not systems of law?dwhchin said:
because the syllabus doesn't say anything about a key question saying the difference between common and civil case law stuff (as far as I can remember) I think that it's just sticking to systems..
coz in the syllabus for law and justice when it says the types of law there's civil and criminal law as one thing.... so I think that common law incorporates criminal and civil law in it... I don't know, I'm just rambling on... I wonder if anyone understands! good luck and well done if you do!
im actually almost 100% certain that what i wrote was correct.. but it's not like it really matters anyways.. why bother to talk about it, we did what we could in the exam and what we thought was right.. even though i think i'm right =P but apart from that, party and stop talking about it. i shall see you guys up at byron bay if any of ya's are going.. i'll be in a big group of baulko guys. take care
