Recently finished a book about Common Law versus Civil Law. Interesting little ditty about the medieval roots of our judicial system and its takeover of settling or perhaps unsettling American issues. The Common Law system is basically established between lawyers of the guild and has been slowly reformed making it a separate dimension of understanding outside of the public understanding. The author portrayed the Common Law practice as an enterprise with roots established deeply in the art of warfare and pitting the two parties in debate against one another as well as a means for economic and social gain on a plain above all citizens. ITS ENTIRELY MID EVIL!!! All around the world countries practice Civil Law, where one is not esteemed as a lawyer but respected as one. The lawyers job in Civil Law involves following a set of laws established by the government and upheld by the government that originated out of the public's mouth. The lawyers job is than to make sure all parties are of like understanding and quell any hard feelings had between parties. To insure that everyone understands and follows the voice of the public, how complicated can we make it then? Many times lawyers have been compared to sharks, but I feel we have entered the age of mid-evil sharks now with laser beams attached to their foreheads. But who am I, but a mere peasant, with my limited understanding of the deeply routed system of Common Law to pass judgment on a highly lucrative highly elevated branch of sophisticated dukes and lords that rule from above me....

PS. There are branches of Common Law that still retain their decency by specializing to a certain branch of law that upholds a certain aspect of society. Patent lawyers one example of many more. I only portray the feeling had voiced from the recent book I read. If anyone knows of evidence in support of Common Law practice I would be obliged to prolong the case before coming to a verdict on the matter.
