What alternatives to the adversarial system can you envision?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

I guess the alternative would be the inquisitorial system, used mostly in continental Europe. The system in the USA is the adversarial system, where the lawyers from both sides run the show. In the inquisitorial system, the judges are much more involved at trials, and ask most of the questions.
