	Bachelor of Civil Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bachelor of Civil Law or BCL is the name of various degrees in law in English-speaking countries.
		The reference to civil law was not originally in contradistinction to common law, but to canon law, although it is true that common law was not taught in the civil law faculties in either university until at least the second half of the 18th century.
		The Faculty of Civil Law in Cambridge was renamed the Faculty of Laws after the teaching of English common law was introduced in the 19th century.

	Civil Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		While the penal law refers to criminal acts (the etymology itself puts into evidence that the matter is focused on the punishment), civil law deals with the remaining possible conduct of the citizens (the not-criminal behaviour of legal relevance) and regulates it in all of its possible forms.
		Civil law notaries are usually limited to areas of private law — that law which resolves between private individuals and involves minimal or no state intervention.
		In the University of Oxford, the B.C.L. is a taught postgraduate degree in English law (the undergraduate law degrees are in the faculty of Arts).

	William Tetley, Mixed jurisdictions: common law vs civil law (codified and uncodified) (Part I)
		Civil law may be defined as that legal tradition which has its origin in Roman law, as codified in the Corpus Juris Civilis of Justinian,[20] and as subsequently developed in Continental Europe and around the world.
		Civil law jurisdictions often have a statute law that is heavily influenced by the common law.
		The diversity of the sources of the civil law, the diversity of languages in which it was expressed, the absence of contemporary commentaries on that law and the reputed "advantages" of the French and Louisiana codes, resulted in pressure for codification, which led to the formation of a commission in 1857.

	William Tetley, Mixed jurisdictions: common law <i>vs</i> civil law (codified and uncodified) (Part II)
		This principle was unknown to civil law courts, which are often required by the constitutions of their respective countries to hear an action, although they may suspend it.
