Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article examines the historical and contemporary distinctions between the accusatorial and inquisitorial criminal justice systems, tracing their evolution from common law and civil law traditions. It highlights the increasing convergence of these models, particularly the influence of the U.S. adversarial system on European procedures, while critiquing the practical challenges and inefficiencies of both systems. The analysis emphasizes the tension between procedural fairness and efficiency, urging reforms to address these issues.
