Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An adversarial system is one where the prosecution and defense each present their case and challenge the other's in front of a neutral judge or jury. This is the type of system used in the United States and other common law countries. An inquisitorial system, on the other hand, is where the judge or a panel of judges actively investigates the case and seeks out evidence rather than relying solely on the presentation of each side's case. An administrative system is one where a government agency or official makes decisions without the need for a judicial system. "Impossible" is not a valid answer as there is a clear correct answer to the question.
