Concept of Adversary and Inquisitorial System

Author Name : Indhirajith.K

Any legal dispute or conflict involves more than one party or person and in most cases concerned parties need appropriate technical and legal assistance to present their grievances and wish to get a resolution in his or her favour.  The adversarial system of resolving legal disputes appears to be fair, logical, and worthy to be used for reaching to a judgment. Each party needs to be represented by a legal expert or a team of experts of law and knowledgeable about the disputed facts over which the concerned parties have their own version of elaboration. Thus lawyers or attorneys in the court of law present the contesting parties where judges or juries come to a conclusion, verdict or judgment to be obeyed by all parties concerned. Judges should be neutral to the parties and the advocates, who represent the interests of the parties. In the adversarial system judges simply chair the legal battles and give patience hearing to the advocates, and then ultimately pronounce orders, verdicts or judgments. Investigation process either remains out of the court or judges only limit the investigations, which are being demanded by any concerned party.
