Law is a system of rules and guidelines which are enforced through social institutions to govern behavior, wherever possible,

it serves as a social mediator of relations between people. Legal systems elaborate rights and responsibilities in a variety of ways. A general distinction can be made between civil law jurisdictions, which codify their laws, and common law systems, where judge-made law is not consolidated. There is also the mixed jurisdiction which is considered having a foot in both camps, civil and common laws. At the genesis of the mixed jurisdiction are the claims of the culture to preserve its own language, religion, historical experience and the last but not the least, its laws and customs. Hopes may indeed be pinned upon the native legal system to reserve as a proxy for preserving the culture in all its manifestations. On the other side is a political superior who considers the costs and benefits of allowing such a result. These claims may quietly gain recognition because of statesmanship or negotiation. The successful group may be vocal and demographically dominant, as in the case of the French Canadians of Quebec; other times it may be a s mall elite working behind the scenes, as in the case of fathers of the Israeli system. This claim has not only successes but failures as well. The mixed jurisdiction is never gratuitously or accidentally created. It is the product of compromise and mutual self-interest. The term mixed jurisdiction should not be identified exclusively with the interaction of common and civil law within the private-law sphere. The mixed jurisdiction must be approached more organically to include the sectorial interaction of a distinct public law and its legal ideology upon a hybrid private law. For the Republic of Moldova, the best system I think could be the civil law. Yes, Common law is flexible as it can accommodate to the situation at hand, but there can also persist unfair judgment and corruption. There are needed fair, experienced, uncorrupted judges as long as they take the decissions in common law . This is what Moldova missing. That is a prior reason why I think Moldova needs a Civil law. Since there exist a written code, rules, the decisions will be made in accordance with it. Being more sever and taking things in close, respecting the laws, legislative rules, moral and ethical standards we can avoid corruption. In order to improve our legal system we have to eliminate corruption. It may sound idealistic but several and semnificative changes can be made. Firstly, judges must be chosen by their experience and handling certain cases. Their decisions must be monitored by a legal group outside the system that will determine if other factors beside legal were used to help the judge make a decision. Secondly, we must emplement a written code, that would be easilly accesible and comprehensive. Since in most cases the participants dont know all the points of the civil law, lawyers and judges can use the code as they see fit.
