Part 1

There are many different types of legal systems around the world, they are generally grouped into a small set of categories known as families of law. There are some common elements across each of the five families, but there are many distinct differences. These differences can result in drastically different treatment of the same types of issues. For this assignment, you will review the scenario below and then

(1) Create a chart of the five families of law and

(2) Write an essay addressing the scenario. Scenario You and your best friend are heading out on two month vacation and plan to visit five destinations. The day before you are set to leave your friend tells you that it has always been her dream to steal something very valuable from each of these five locations, and that during the vacation she plans to make her dream come true. As much as you try to persuade her not to, you are certain that she will try to carry out her plan and that she will get caught. You and your friend set off for vacation with the following itinerary:

(a) Sightseeing in Great Britain

(e) Shopping for bargains on several Navajo reservations in Arizona Part One: Five Families of Law Chart For part one of this assignment, you will create a chart explaining the five families of law for each of the locations highlighted in the scenario. The first column in the template (Family of Law) has already been completed. You are to briefly complete the other columns as follows:

Countries: Identify the countries listed in the scenario in which that type of law is dominant

Characteristics: list the characteristics of that type of law - what is that type of law known for. For example, is it a law that relies heavily on codes.

How disputes are settled: briefly explain how disputes are settled in the counties you identified. For example, does one go to court in this country, are disputes settled by another authority, etc.

How cases are handled: briefly explain how cases are handled in the counties you identified. For example, does the authority handling the case rely on case law, codes, religious doctrine, etc.

Part Two: Essay For part two of this assignment, write a 3 page essay addressing the scenario. In your essay, for each of the five places on the itinerary, summarize the following:

1- The family of law followed

3- How your friend's theft would be dealt with under the law in the country. Specifically, what type of legal proceedings could she expect?
