    Civil Law Systems
    Civil law jurisdictions trace their lineage to Roman law, codified most notably in the Corpus Juris Civilis. In these systems, comprehensive, continuously updated legal codes serve as the primary source of law. Judicial decisions are interpretive, applying the code to specific facts, rather than creating binding precedent for future cases.
