Abstract
Several aspects of the common law system provide distinctive doctrinal and institutional strength - one is its adaptability to varied geographical and social conditions in jurisdictions across the world; another is its method of adjudication, with the development of precedent which balances competing interests by proceeding not from large generalisations but from case to case decided by a cohort of skilled judges who are assisted by an independent legal profession.
