		Prior to any attempt to “borrow” aspects of another nation’s inquisitorial system, which is what the Malimath Committee is proposing with respect to the French system, it is of vital importance that the entire structure, evolution and context of that system be understood.
		The Committee ignores the reasoning behind this centuries-old rule of evidence, which is that the guilt of the accused must be established by proof of the facts alleged and not by proof of his character, and such evidence may lead to prejudice to the accused.
		In most inquisitorial systems, there can be no guilty plea by the defendant as the emphasis is on the public interest in finding the truth.

	Eliminating Racial Profiling - The French Approach?
		This is troublesome, since one of the most oft-cited benefits of the French inquisitorial model is the impartiality and unique station of the examining magistrate.
		In practice, the examining magistrate's authority is limited by the growing authority of the police and the discretion of the prosecutor.
		These provisions, combined with an adoption of the French inquisitorial style in which the judge has a strong role in controlling the direction of the case, would create a "truth-seeking" environment in an American courtroom.

	Inquisitorial system (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		For this see: Inquisition.'' An inquisitorial system is a legal system where the court or a part of the court is actively involved in determining the facts of the case, as opposed to an adversarial system where the role of the court is solely that of an impartial referee between parties.
		The inquisitorial system applies to questions of criminal procedure as opposed to questions of substantial law; that is, it determines how criminal enquiries and trials are conducted, not the kind of crimes for which one can be prosecuted, nor the sentences that they carry.
		It would be too much of a generalization to state that the civil law is purely inquisitorial and the common law adverarial, indeed the ancient Roman custom of arbitration was the earliest form of adversarial proceeding, has now been adapted in many common law jurisdictions to a more inquisitorial form.

		In 1544, Mari Serrana, on trial at Toledo, was charged with impeding the Inquisition, because she had endeavored to ascertain whether a certain person had testified in another case and what he had said--the mere attempt to learn what went on within those mysterious walls was treated as a crime.
		At its best, the inquisitorial process left much to the temper and disposition of the judge; as modified by the Inquisition, the fate of the accused was virtually at the discretion of the tribunal, and that discretion was relieved of the wholesome restraint of publicity.
		This, at least in appearance, removed one of the most repulsive features of the pure inquisitorial process, as the judge was no longer a party to the case and could affect a semblance of impartiality, even though he were, in reality, the instigator of the prosecution.

		Nevertheless, these recent trends in mass tort litigation may hint at an evolution toward greater use of inquisitorial tools within the context of the U.S. adversary system.
