   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.

   Linked via "Judicial decisions"

   Civil Law Systems
   Dominant throughout continental Europe, Latin America, and parts of Asia, civil law systems derive their authority principally from comprehensive, continuously updated written statutes or codes. Judicial decisions in civil law jurisdictions are generally not binding precedents; they serve primarily as persuasive authority. Judges in these systems often adopt a more inquisitorial role during fact-finding than their common law counterparts [2].
