대륙법계의 개념은 무엇인가?
Civil law is sometimes referred to as neo-Roman law, Romano-Germanic law or Continental law. The expression "civil law" is a translation of Latin "jus civile", or "citizens' law", which was the late imperial term for its legal system, as opposed to the laws governing conquered peoples ("jus gentium"); hence, the Justinian Code's title "Corpus Juris Civilis". Civil law practitioners, however, traditionally refer to their system in a broad sense as "jus commune", literally "common law", meaning the general principles of law as opposed to laws specific to particular areas. (The use of "common law" for the Anglo-Saxon systems may or may not be influenced by this usage.)
