A delegation from France, a civil law country, is touring your company. Your visitors are interested in learning more about the American legal system and the formation of the common law. In a cohesively written essay, explain how the role of courts differs in countries with a common law versus a civil law tradition. Make sure you explain how US courts make law, what we mean by precedent, and why the doctrine of stare decisis has been so fundamental to the development of the U. S. legal tradition.
