Civil law is the body of laws that govern private and non-criminal legal matters. It is a codified system based on Roman law with detailed codes organizing the laws. More than 80 countries operate under a civil law system including Germany, France, Japan, and Russia. Judges in a civil law system have less flexibility than common law as they must rely on and apply the existing legal codes rather than interpret laws or precedents.
