question

Headline text

Wasn't it Justinian that got rid of all the conflicting decisions and tried to standardize legal interpretation (which was why Napoleon loved him so much)?

I modified the article with respect to civil law. It was claim that civil law judges are not supposed to interpret the law. In fact, civil law judges are supposed to interpret existing statute law – but not create new law. David.Monniaux 17:13, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Where did the name "judiciary" come from?

*[(I have to Right a short story on the 3 governmental branches)

Seems like an amatuer question but i assure you it is not.

‘The Sovereign power to make law within the UK lies with Parliament, but it is case law that creates and refines the law through judicial decisions.’

Explain the legislative function of Parliament and the role of the judiciary in the law-making process, and comment on the validity of the above statement.

WOULD ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE STATEMENT (Olebhia 16:21, 31 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Judiciary: government, court systems & judges

I'm no lawyer, but the categories Category:Judiciaries and Category:Court systems by country look like a duplicated mess to me. Someone easily confused (?) might have expected to find a more logical structure, like: branches of national government; court systems; and judges. I've made a few tweaks at the moment, and I'm wondering about proposing the merger of court systems into judiciaries to help sort out the differences between the two. Any views??--Mereda 14:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
