Definition:
Body of law developed from Roman law in continental Europe. The basis of law in civil-law jurisdictions is statute, not custom. Thus, in civil law, judges apply principles embodied in statutes, or law codes, rather than turning to case precedent (Source: https://www.britannica.com/summary/civil-law-Romano-Germanic.
