- D Religious law system
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct Answer:
D is correct. In a religious law system, laws are based on religious beliefs of the region, and jurists and clerics attempt to discover the truth of law from those beliefs. Jurists and clerics have a high degree of authority to make and interpret law.
Incorrect Answers:
A is incorrect. A common law system is typically based on previous judicial interpretations of law (precedent); typically court based.
B is incorrect. A civil (code) law system is rule-based law and is not typically based on judicial precedent. Laws are codified or written.
C is incorrect. A mixed law system is composed of two or more legal systems used together, and applied cumulatively or interactively. Most mixed law systems consist of civil and common law, so are derived from both written rule-based law and judicial precedent.
