| Definition | A very brief definition: Civil law is the legal system used in continental Europe. It is based on codified principles (i.e. written laws) and stands in contrast to "common law" that forms the legal basis in the United States and the United Kingdom -- which is based on judge-based laws and the doctrine of judicial precedent. |
