| | Adversarial system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In an adversary system, there is no more controversy and the case proceeds to sentencing; though in many jurisdictions the defendant must have allocution of her or his crime, a false confession will not be accepted even in common law courts. | | | The passive role of the judge in the adversarial system also allows for plea bargaining in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty in exchange for a lesser sentence by the prosecution, or for out of court settlements in civil cases. | | | In some adversarial legislative systems, the court is permitted to make inferences on an accused's failure to face cross-examination or to answer a particular question. |

| | An inquisitorial system is a legal system where the court or a part of the court is actively involved in determining the facts of the case, as opposed to an adversarial system where the role of the court is solely that of an impartial referee between parties. | | | The adversarial system (or adversary system) of law is the system of law, generally adopted in common law countries, that relies on the skill of the different advocates representing their partys positions and not on some neutral party, usually the judge, trying to ascertain the truth of the case. | | | The prosecutor is the chief legal representative of the prosecution in countries adopting the common law adversarial system or the civil law inquisitorial system. |

| | ISUMA : Adversarial Legalism: The American Way of Law |
| | Adversarial legalism is defined as “policymaking, policy implementation, and dispute resolution by means of lawyer-dominated litigation.” (p.3) It involves complex legal rules, formal, adversarial and costly means for resolving disputes, punitive sanctions, more frequent judicial review of administrative and legislative processes, more political controversy over legal rules and institutions, fragmented decision making and legal uncertainty. | | | Adversarial legalism is thus concerned not only with litigation in courts, but broader patterns of governance that affect administrative agencies and legislatures. | | | The bulk of the book is devoted to exploring the causes and effects of adversarial legalism on criminal justice, civil justice and administrative law. |

| | Adversarial strengths/weaknesses |
| | In an ideal system, prosecutors would present before the court any and all information obtained indicating the guilt of the accused, and the defense attorney acting in the designated role of officer of the court, would merely be entering information that mitigated the accused's guilt so that an apporpriate punishment could be meted out. | | | Two disadvantages of the system are: 1) the restriction on what, how evidence can be entered into a trial, including consideration of the way the evidence or information was obtained, and whether the proper "door" was opened during the trial for its introduction. | | | However, politics being what it is and how it influences the ambitions of attorneys, both those who work for the state, and the defense has led to zealous prosecution of innocent people, as well as zealous defense leading to the release of the guilty. |

| | The public, bless their souls, for all their occasional misconceptions about the system, still fundamentally believe that when they petition their courts for a redress of grievances (by filing a lawsuit, pro se or otherwise) that duty, loyalty, and caring require something other than the treatment they've received recently. | | | A more intelligent system would have lawyers appointed as special masters to resolve consumer disputes, who could often reach an arbitrator's decision for the cost of simply retaining a lawyer who knows he's bound for litigation. | | | Still, as a wit once quipped, "Criticizing lawyers for litigation is like criticizing middle linebackers for hitting people." This resonates with most lawyers' sense that our colleagues (except possibly opposing counsel) are good, talented people, not the greedy, dishonest villains lawyers are made out to be. |

| | frontline: an ordinary crime: an interview with producer ofra bikel PBS |
| | There is a sort of peculiar belief here in the U.S. criminal justice system that if two attorneys present their versions of a story (as flamboyantly as possible) to 12 people who never heard any of the facts, and each brings into court witnesses to buttress their stories, then the truth will come out. | | | And it is the same with the justice system. | | | What I take from this is that the U.S. criminal justice system -- considered by most people to be the best justice system in the world -- is very badly flawed, and more than anyone wants to see or admit. |

| | ADR Personalities and Practice Tips |
| | The basic theme is that, with or without advice of counsel, the parties agree to scrap the idea of the adversarial system of law, and to work at every phase of their dispute resolution process in a collaborative, cooperative mode to resolve the dispute. | | | ABSTRACT: The basic theme is that, with or without advice of counsel, the parties agree to scrap the idea of the adversarial system of law, and to work at every phase of their dispute resolution process in a collaborative, cooperative mode to resolve the dispute. | | | "A dispute is a problem to be solved together, not a combat to be won." I start with the assumption that the adversarial system of law as we know it under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and most state rules, is inefficient, burdensome, costly, and unpredictable in a rather extreme degree. |

| | The committee argues, without adducing any evidence that the adversarial system of justice is centrally to be blamed for the pathologies of our criminal justice system. | | | Was not the premise of the adversarial system that the truth would come out because it gave an incentive to all parties to argue their case most vigorously? | | | As we know from comparative evidence, countries with more punitive legal systems and efficient detection mechanisms as the United States of America have also had high crime rates compared to their European counterparts. |

| | Divorce Source: Divorce in an Era of No-Fault: Litigate or Mediate? |
| | As the processes of the judicial system regulates, administers and choreographs the dance of divorce, the couple is painfully, yet realistically, aware that an external resolution can and will be imposed upon them by an impartial third party (i.e., the judiciary) if they refuse to do the needed work. | | | One of the basic premises of the adversarial system is that justice is best served by an adjudicatory paradigm, but is it "fair" (whatever that word means) that a resolution be imposed on a couple by a third person? | | | Although my beliefs, as to the resolution of divorce conflicts, are very much skewed in favor of a "modified private mediation", such a process needs to be under the "monitoring guardianship" of the judicial adversary system. |
