19. Work in pairs. Discuss the legal system of Ukraine. Make up a dialogue, using the following information.

The legal system of Ukraine is based on the framework of civil law. The legal system of Ukraine belongs to the Romano-Germanic legal tradition. The main source of legal information is codified law. Customary law and case law are not as common, though case law is often used in support of the written law, as in many other legal systems. Ukraine bases its legal system on Civil Code of Ukraine of 2004. The primary law making body is the Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada), also referred to as the legislature.

  1. Learn more facts about the language of the Common law and the Civil law. Did you know that…

Although originally written in Latin and spoken in Norman French, the language of the Common Law today is virtually only English. Wherever some version of the common law is in force, the native or official language of the country is English. The legal vocabulary, however, is likely to be markedly technical if not arcane and to contain much dead French and Latin. By contrast, the Civil Law is found in most languages.
