Unsourced and improbable-seeming definition. Author removed prod tag without adding sources. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:40, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep. The most important branch of law in France, Germany etc. —Guy Peters Talk • Contributions • Edit counter 17:48, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't really know much about the civil law legal system, but I don't see what is improbable about this definition. I know that civil law is a major branch of law in the common law system, and this seems like a similar branch of law in the civil law system. Calathan (talk) 19:11, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's different. In common law it is usually the opposite of criminal law and mixture of various provisions, but see California Civil Code, which is similar to continental system. In continental system the civil law is precisly defined and it is something like criminal law or commercial law and it lives by its own and not as just the opposite of criminal law. But, if you propose to merge Civil law (common law) and Civil law (area)‎ I am not against. —Guy Peters Talk • Contributions • Edit counter 20:54, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep. The civil law (legal system) has a civil law component equivalent in function to civil law (common law) (i.e. the law relating to interactions among private citizens). I'm not sure if the title is very helpful but the topic is certainly encyclopedic. de:Privatrecht clarifies that civil law is the major part of private law, with exclusions like commercial law as mentioned in this article (and in the civil law legal system, there are 3 pillars: public law, private law, criminal law). Given the Napoleonic origins I'm pretty sure this basic structure is general with the civil law legal system. Rd232 talk 19:17, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
