JUDICIAL STYLE AND REASONING IN CIVIL AND COM MON LAW LEGAL SYSTEMS
Although civil code and common law judgment content，style and presentation are verydifferent，the aim remains the same—the need to make clear and precise findings onal 1 important matters．The judge’s role as the finder of fact and interpreter of the law in continental／civillaw systems in European countries and China is quite similar．Their judgments，usuallywritten by a panel of unnamed judges，differ in style from the individual ism of thecommon law judge where even on appeal unanimous judgments are the exception rather thanthe rule，and individual concurring judgments Can show an entirely different path ofreasoning to reach the same result．
