	Adversarial system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 party's positions and not on some neutral party, usually the judge, trying to ascertain the truth of the case.
		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.
		Certainly the use of the jury in the common law system seems to have fostered the adversarial system, and there are many today who believe that it remains the best way of providing for the determination of a disputed issue.

		This allows for plea bargaining in adversary systems in a way that is difficult or impossible in inquisitional system, and most felony cases in the United States are handled without trial through such plea bargains.
		In the inquisitional system, plea bargaining is impossible because there is no concept of a plea, and any attempt for the prosecution and defense to negotiate an sentence without the involvement of the judge would be considered highly unethical.
		In addition, proponents of inquisitorial systems argue that the plea bargain system causes the participants within the system to act in perverse ways in that it encourages the prosecution to bring charges far in excess of what is warranted and the defense to plead guilty even when they believe that they are not.

	Adversary system : Adversarial system
		Judges in an adversarial system tend to be more interested in ensuring the fair play of due process, or fundamental justice and they decide, often when called upon by counsel rather than of their own motion, what evidence is to be admitted when there is a dispute.
		The rules of evidence are also developed based upon the system of objections of adversaries and on what basis it may tend to prejudice the trier of fact[?].
		In common law systems the defendant has a right to silence, but if he waives that right to silence he is subject to cross-examination by a professional advocate whose goal it is to present the defendant's statements in the worst possible light.

	ISUMA : Adversarial Legalism: The American Way of Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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 relation between adversarial legalism and weak governance is explored in the third chapter, on “Political Construction of Adversarial Legalism.” Here Kagan the political scientist shines as he rejects cultural explanations for the American reliance on litigation in favour of institutional explanations.

		Both systems were historically preceded by the system of private vengeance in which the victim of a crime fashioned his own remedy and administered it privately, either personally or through an agent.
		The vengeance system was a system of self-help, the essence of which was captured in the slogan "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." The modern adversarial system is only one historical step removed from the private vengeance system and still retains some of its characteristic features.
		This system operates on the philosophical premise that in a criminal case the crucial factor is not the legal rule but the facts of the case and that the goal of the entire procedure is to experimentally recreate for the court the commission of the alleged crime.

		But with opposing counsel we are thrust into an adversarial relationship — thus, opposing counsel is the exception that proves the rule that it is the adversarial system that is troubling so many of us.
		Yet regardless of whether you think the adversarial system will always be with us, or whether you see a day when progress brings us better ways of resolving all disputes, the historical successes of the adversarial system do not justify its one-size-fits-all monopoly on dispute resolution.
		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.

		The prosecutor is the chief legal representative of the prosecution in countries adopting the common law adversarial system or the civil law inquisitorial system.
		Civil law is a codified system of law that sets out a comprehensive system of rules that are applied and interpreted by judges.

		For her body of work on America's justice system, Bikel was honored in 2000 with the "Champion of Justice" award given by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
		First, because it is an adversarial system and the defense's job is to defend their client in any way they can (within the boundaries of the law, which is quite flexible), the prosecution, as the adversary, wants to do just the opposite of the defense: convict the defendant in any way they can.
		I think the adversarial system, combined with the fact that the truth is not really relevant, is baffling and should baffle every American.

	Adversarial strengths/weaknesses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		My initial response is that there are no strengths to the adversarial system of trial because the system allows for and perpetuates a misdirection from the truth.
		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.

	Adversary system
		In a way the rules of evidence can function to give a judge limited inquisitorial powers as the judge may exclude evidence she believes isn't trustworthy or irrelevant to the legal issue at hand.
		This isn't the case, and both modern adversary and inquisitional systems have the powers of the state separated between a prosecutor and the judge and allow the defendant the right to counsel.
		By contrast, in an inquisitional system, the fact that the defendant has confessed is merely one more fact that is entered into evidence, and a confession by the defendant doesn't remove the requirement that the prosecution present a full case.
