Civil law systems, also known as Continental or Romano-Germanic legal systems, are those that have developed out of the European continental legal tradition. Civil law systems are characterized by comprehensive codes that seek to cover all areas of law, codification of private law, and a strong role for courts in interpreting the law. Many countries with civil law systems also have a separate body of commercial law, which is designed to govern business transactions.
