MIS
The civil law system is based on written legal codes, a hallmark of the Roman legal system, in which disputes were settled by reference to a written legal code arrived at through legislation, edicts, and the like. The tendency in civil law is to create a unified legal system by working out with maximum precision the conclusions to be drawn from basic principles.
