Hi,

Civil law and common law are the two dominant legal systems in the world. They differ in their sources of law, how they are interpreted, and the role of judges. Below table highlights the civil law scope in India and abroad, compared to common law

Characteristic

Common Law

Civil Law

Intro

Common law is a legal system originating in England and Wales, in which law is created and refined by judges through precedents set in previous court rulings. It is contrasted with the civil law system, which is based on comprehensive legal codes.

Civil law is a legal system originating in mainland Europe, in which law is codified into comprehensive, detailed collections. It is based on the principles laid out in these collections, rather than relying heavily on precedent set in previous court cases.

Source of Law

Judicial decisions and interpretations (precedent)

Comprehensive legal codes and statutes

Role of Judges

Judges interpret and apply the law, playing a key role in shaping the law through their rulings

Judges apply and interpret the law as it is written in the codes, with less emphasis on precedents

Hi,

No, you cannot straight a way pursue Civil Law after 12th in India. Here are the reasons why so:

  • No Standalone Degree: Civil Law is not offered as a distinguish UG course in India.

  • Integrated Law Degrees: However, you can carry on with common law degree such as Bachelor of Laws (LLB) after 12th. These LLB courses will include Civil Law as a core subject along with other legal areas.

  • Specializations: Some LLB courses or postgraduate Master of Laws (LLM) programs may offer specialisations or electives focusing on specific areas of Civil Law, like family law or property law.

Hope this answer cleared your doubt !

The difference is that Civil Law courses deal with issues between people or organisations. It's goal is to provide remedies for violations of private rights.

Criminal Law focus on the study of various types of crimes, legal practices, investigative methods, trial preparation, and the operations of the criminal justice system.
