| | The structure and jurisdiction of the courts in civil law countries correspond to the private and public law classification. | | | Private law issues are within the province of the "ordinary" or "judicial" courts while public law matters are addressed in separate "administrative" courts. | | | The growth of administrative law, both in common law and civil law countries, will require lawyers and judges in the United States to understand the practice of administrative law in the civil law system. |

| | William J. Freeman, Alabama Counselor, Attorney at Law and Civil Law Notary |
| | Civil Law Notaries remain lawyers in private legal matters and must hold a law degree and be admitted to practice law in their jurisdictions. | | | The civil law notary's vocation in private matters is to afford legal security and certainty to those with recourse to the law and thus avert litigation by offering impartial advice and ensuring that the documents he or she drafts are legal, authentic and of a public nature. | | | Notaries facilitate, avert or reduce court intervention by drawing up and authenticating contracts and agreements which in substance, comply with the law and which in form, are effective and enforceable. |

| | The Civil Law Notary |
| | A civil law notarial act is a structured private sector contract that is drafted and signed by the notary and preserved in the public sector. | | | The notary at civil law is a highly trained public official who drafts private agreements into documentary language and then functions as an archivist of the document he or she creates. | | | One of the subtleties of the civil law notarial act is the manifest context of its safekeeping, a context that further guarantees its authenticity. |

| | Harmonization of Federal Legislation with the Civil Law of the Province of Quebec |
| | While civil law and common law complement the private law provisions of federal legislation, at the same time, federal legislation should not be applied uniformly throughout the country in every respect. | | | Rather than proceeding from the ratio decidendi of previous judicial decisions, the emphasis in the civil law tradition is on the written, or codified law, which is the primary source of law. | | | Flowing from this is the civil law deductive approach to legal reasoning, proceeding from the general to the specific. |

In the present piece, I will elaborate on how law itself could be efficiently and equitably produced in a private setting. | | | To argue for a private legal system is really just to argue against a government-imposed monopoly. In every other sector, the coercive approach fails, and there is nothing unique about law to change that conclusion. | | | The above examples serve to illustrate the fundamental basis of private law: individuals have disputes and want an expert, third party to render an opinion. Over time, of course, the free market would develop institutional refinements of this basic service. |

| | The Hague Conference on Private International Law has been a pioneer in developing systems of international co-operation, at the administrative and judicial levels, for the protection of children who are caught up in cross-frontier situations in which the person or property of the child may be at risk. | | | Such orders are recognised in other Contracting States by operation of law and are fully enforceable, including in the child's habitual residence, until such time as the authorities there have acted. | | | The Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, is a multi-lateral treaty which seeks to protect children from the harmful effects of abduction and retention across international boundaries by providing a procedure to bring about the prompt return of these children to the country of their habitual residence. |
