  Civil law (legal system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Civil law is the predominant system of law in the world, with its origins in Roman law, and sets out a comprehensive system of rules, usually codified, that are applied and interpreted by judges.
Civil or civilian law is a legal tradition which is the base of the law in the majority of countries of the world, especially in continental Europe and the former Soviet Union, but also in Quebec (Canada), Louisiana (USA), Puerto Rico (a U.S. territory), Japan, Latin America, and most former colonies of continental European countries.
Chinese law is a mixture of civil law and socialist law.

 LSU Law: News & Publications   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This was also the era of the lions of LSU Law, the "big names in modern Louisiana jurisprudence." During this time, the school also brought in a number of distinguished visiting civil law scholars, such as comparative law expert and German refugee Max Rheinstein.
The Institute of Advanced Civil Law Studies (now the Center of Civil Law Studies) commenced operations in 1965 with the objectives of establishing relations with other civil law countries and promoting the study of civil law and comparative law — with this growth came the need for more space.
In 2002, the Law Center became the sole U.S. law school, and one of only two in the Western Hemisphere, to concurrently award both the Juris Doctor and the Bachelor of Civil Law, recognizing the education that LSU students receive in both the civil law and common law traditions.

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.
