The Judiciary 04/29/2020
'' The American legal system is based on the idea of "common law," from the English system. In a common law system the authority of judges to decide cases are emphasized. Many other countries have a "civil law" system where laws are laid out in written codes of law the task of judges are to interpret when the laws apply in specific cases. In common law, obviously judges still have to follow the written laws, but are given more freedom to come to their own decisions. '' This quote in the blog stood out me because it resembles the importance of the american legal system. The legal system isn't the best and we all know the judges have to follow the laws but some may be influenced because of bribes .
