adversarial system (contrasted system)

The adversarial system is a method of resolving legal disputes where two opposing sides present their case to an impartial judge or jury. Each side gathers evidence, questions witnesses, and argues to prove their version of the truth. The judge or jury then evaluates both sides' arguments to decide the outcome. This system is common in countries like the United States and the UK. Its goal is to ensure a fair contest where each side has the opportunity to fully present their case, and the truth emerges through the competition between opposing parties.
