Explanation

Civil Law systems are based on comprehensive written codes that set out general legal rules for judges to apply.

Judges in Civil Law focus on applying statutes and codes rather than relying on earlier court decisions.

The video uses the United States to illustrate Common Law, where court decisions strongly influence future cases.

Common Law relies heavily on precedents, meaning judges look at how similar cases were decided in the past.

Stare decisis means “to stand by things decided” and ensures consistency by following earlier rulings.

In Civil Law systems, judges are not lawmakers; their role is to apply the written legal code.
