Roman law and English common-law are
examples of the former, where the legal principles are obtained by
judges attempting to do justice in a number of individual cases, which
is why such systems are described as case-law systems. Modern civil law,
on the other hand, is the prime example of a legislated system, where
principles are embodied in a “Civil Code,” derived from the arbitrary
decree of the legislative branch.
