Yaleta is a country of two hundred thousand people on a medium size island in the South Atlantic. Legal matters are decided by elected Law Gurus. The people of Yaleta over one thousand years ago wrote a comprehensive code to guide the Gurus. When subjects bring cases before them, the Gurus control the flow of information and ask questions of the parties, consult the codes, and make binding
decisions. The rulings are recorded but the reasons are not; the Gurus believe the only law they need to consult is the code. Often the traders in Yaleta will consult these codes to determine probable legal outcomes. This system most closely resembles
a. an adversary law system.
b. an inquisitorial system.
c. an equity system.
d. a common law system.
