common law

The Law of the Twelve Tables was a collection of basic rules, rather than a comprehensive piece of legislation.

Zakonik dvanaest ploča bila je zbirka osnovnih pravila, a ne sveobuhvatan zakon.

A system of courts to determine what the rules are, whether they have been broken and what the appropriate sanction is, are a necessary element of every legal system.

Nužni element svakog pravnog sustava je sistem sudova koji određuju koja su (pravna) pravila, jesu li bila prekršena i koja je primjerena sankcija.

Legislatures can be unicameral or bicameral, i.e. consist of one or two legislative chambers.

Zakonodavna tijela mogu biti jednodomna ili dvodomna, tj. sastoje se od jednog ili dva zakonodavna doma.

The legislative body enacts law that all citizens must act in accordance with.

Zakonodavno tijelo donosi zakone u skladu s kojima se moraju ponašati svi građani.

Judges are often prohibited from engaging in political activity as their impartiality in adjudication is a prerequisite for fair and consistent application of law.

Sucima je često zabranjeno uključivati se u političke aktivnosti jer je njihova nepristranost u izricanju presuda preduvjet za pravičnu i dosljednu primjenu zakona.
