Features of the Inquisitorial system

[mypurpleundercracka]

can anybody tell me as to whether one needs to know the strengths and weaknesses of this system of trial? or whether one needs to simply compare and contrast it against the adversarial system

thanks

weve done a comparison, and as a part of that comparison, we have added a disadvantage and and advantage of that in relation to the adversary system, so what one has that the other doesnt and vice verca,

for example:

Legal represenation is not essential and is sometimes disallowed in the inquisitorial system, where their role is to assist the judge in discovering the truth.

Legal representation in the inquisitorial system provides an opportunity for parties to bring a matter to court even if they dont have the necessary financial resources. In criminal trials, the cost of trial is borne by the state. This creates a situation where there is little imbalance in power, skills or resources between parties.

On the other hand, the inability to use legal representation allows for parties to best present their case, and as a result, the truth is more likely to emerge, if evidence that is important and of high quality is provided to the court.
