'''Civil law''' is law based on a series of written codes or laws.
Civil Law is a legal system based on Roman Law, in which there is a code of law in which the state follows and uses to determine court cases. This is opposed to [[Common Law]] in where judges' decisions on court cases can be used as precedent in other cases to create new law. Civil Law is also referred to as "Jus civile", which is [[Latin]] for Civil Law.
