The Adversarial Due Process System

Question 4 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

What are the two kinds of legal systems in America?

Answer
A
English and Roman
B
civil and criminal
C
adversarial and inquisitorial
D
advocates or fact-finders

Explanation

The two broad legal-system approaches are adversarial and inquisitorial. In an adversarial system, opposing sides present arguments and evidence before a neutral judge or jury; in an inquisitorial system, the judge takes a more active role in investigating the case. So the correct choice is “adversarial and inquisitorial.”
