In a common law system, judges make decisions based on precedent, juries are used in criminal trials, and the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. Statutes are not the primary source of law in a common law system.

The primary function of the criminal justice system is to protect society from criminals by punishing them, rehabilitating them, and deterring crime.

The right to a speedy trial is a criminal right, not a civil right. Civil rights are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and include freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to bear arms.

International law serves all of the purposes listed: regulating relations between countries, promoting peace and security, and protecting human rights.

A tort is a civil wrong, not a crime. Crimes are classified as felonies, misdemeanors, or infractions.

In a civil case, the plaintiff is the person who is suing the defendant. In a criminal case, the government is the plaintiff and the defendant is the person who is being accused of a crime.

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States and has the final say on all legal matters.

In a plea bargain, the defendant admits guilt to a lesser charge, is found guilty by the court, and is sentenced to a lighter sentence.

The purpose of the bail system is to ensure that the defendant will appear in court for their trial. Bail is money that the defendant pays to the court in order to be released from jail while they await their trial.

A statute is a law that is passed by the legislature. A regulation is a rule that is passed by the executive branch. Statutes are more general than regulations, and regulations are more specific.

The purpose of the jury system is to ensure that the defendant receives a fair trial. A jury is a group of people who are selected to hear the evidence in a case and decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty.

In a civil lawsuit, the plaintiff is seeking compensation for damages, the government is not involved, and the burden of proof is on the plaintiff. In a criminal case, the government is seeking to punish the defendant, the plaintiff is not involved, and the burden of proof is on the government.

The purpose of the statute of limitations is to prevent people from being prosecuted for crimes that they committed long ago and to prevent people from suing for damages that occurred long ago.

Felonies are more serious crimes than misdemeanors, felonies are punishable by more than one year in prison, and misdemeanors are punishable by less than one year in prison.

The purpose of the Miranda rights is to protect the rights of the accused, to ensure that the accused understands their rights, and to prevent the accused from making incriminating statements.
