OTHER TIMES - OTHER MANNERS In order to understand why a particular country has a particular legal system, it is necessary to look at its history, political structure and social values. When there is political and social upheaval, one of the main concerns of a new government is to revise the legal system. Britain has had an unusual degree of political continuity. Despite civil wars in the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries and enormous social changes associated with industrialization, England and Wales have retained many laws and legal principles that originated eight centuries ago. On the other hand, most of the law of Japan, which experienced the rapid upheaval of the Meiji Restoration and foreign occupation after the Second World War, was developed within the last century. Each country in the world, even each state of the United States, has its own system of law. However it is generally true to say that there are two main traditions of law in the world. One is based on English Common law, and has been adopted by many Commonwealth countries and most of the United States. The other tradition, sometimes known as Continental, or Roman law, was developed in most of continental Europe, Latin America and many countries in Asia and Africa, which have been strongly influenced by Europe. Continental law has also influenced Japan and several socialist countries.	ДРУГИЕ ВРЕМЕНА – ДРУГИЕ МАНЕРЫ Для того, чтобы понять, почему та или иная страна имеет определенную правовую систему, необходимо посмотреть на его историю, политическую структуру и социальные ценности. Когда есть политические и социальные потрясения, одна из главных проблем нового правительства - пересмотреть правовую систему. Британия имела необычную степень политической преемственности. Несмотря на гражданские войны в пятнадцатом и семнадцатом веках, и огромные социальные изменения, связанные с индустриализацией, Англия и Уэльс сохранили много законов и правовых принципов, которые возникли восемь веков назад. С другой стороны, большая часть закона Японии, которая испытала быстрый переворот Реставрации Мэйдзи и иностранной оккупации после Второй мировой войны, был разработан в прошлом веке. Каждая страна в мире, даже каждый штат Соединенных Штатов, имеет свою собственную правовую систему. Однако в целом справедливо сказать, что существуют две основные традиции права в мире. Одна из них базируется на английском общем праве, и была принята многими странами Содружества наций, и большинство из Соединенных Штатов. Другая традиция, которую иногда называют Континентальной, или традицией римского права, была разработана в большинстве стран континентальной Европы, Латинской Америки и во многих странах Азии и Африки, которые были под сильным влиянием Европы. Континентальное право также оказывало влияние на Японию и некоторые социалистические страны.

CRIMINAL AND CIVIL CASES Crime is a violation of a law that forbids or commands an activity. Such as murder, rape, arson are on the books of every country. Because crime is a violation of public order, the government prosecutes criminal cases. Courts decide both criminal and civil cases. Civil cases stem from claims to something of value. Disputes arise from accidents, contract obligations, and divorce, for example. Most countries make a rather clear distinction between civil and criminal procedures. For example, an English criminal court may force a defendant to pay a fine as punishment for his crime, and he may sometimes have to pay the legal costs of the prosecution. But the victim of the crime pursuits his claim for compensation in a civil, not a criminal, action. Criminal and civil procedures are different. Although some systems, in the English law, allow a private citizen to bring a criminal prosecution to another citizen, criminal actions are nearly always started by the state. Civil procedures, on the other hand, are usually started by individuals. Some courts, such as the English Magistrates Courts and the Japanese Family Court, deal with both civil and criminal matters. Others, such as the English Crown Court, deal exclusively with one or the other. In Anglo-American law, the party bringing a criminal action (that is, in most cases the state) is called the prosecution, but the party bringing a civil action is the plaintiff. In both kinds of action the other party is known as the defendant. A criminal case against a person called Ms. Brown would be described as "The People vs. (versus, or against) Brown" in the United States and "R. (Regina, that is, the Queen) vs. Brown" in England. But a civil action between Ms. Brown and Mr. Smith would be "Brown vs. Smith" if it was started by Brown, and "Smith vs. Brown" if it was started by Mr. Smith. Evidence from a criminal trial is not necessarily admissible as evidence in a civil action about the same matter. For example, the victim of a road accident does not directly benefit if the driver who injured him is found guilty of the crime of careless driving. He still has to prove his case in a civil action. In fact he may be able to prove his civil case even when the driver is found not guilty in the criminal trial. Once the plaintiff has shown that the defendant is liable, the main ar­gument in a civil court is about the amount of money, or damages, the defendant should pay to the plaintiff.

Уголовные и гражданские дела Преступление является нарушением закона, который запрещает или сдерживает деятельность. Такие, как убийство, изнасилование, поджог находятся в досье судебных документов каждой страны. Поскольку преступление является нарушением общественного порядка, правительство расследует уголовные дела. Суды решают как уголовные, так и гражданские дела. Гражданские дела вытекают из претензий к чему-то ценному. Споры возникают в результате несчастных случаев, договорных обязательств, и развода, например. Большинство стран делают довольно четкое различие между гражданскими и уголовными процедурами. Например, английский уголовный суд может вынудить ответчика выплатить штраф в качестве наказания за его преступления, и он иногда может быть должным оплатить судебные издержки обвинения. Но жертва преступления преследует свое требование о компенсации в гражданском, а не уголовном судебном процессе. Уголовные и гражданские процедуры различны. Хотя некоторые системы, в английском праве, позволяют частному лицу возбудить уголовное предъявление иска другому гражданину, уголовные действия почти всегда начинались государством. Гражданские процедуры, с другой стороны, обычно запускаются отдельными лицами. Некоторые суды, такие как английские суды магистратов и японские суды по семейным делам, имеют дело с гражданскими и уголовными делам. Другие, такие как английский королевский суд, имеют дело исключительно с одним или с другим. В англо-американском праве, сторона по делу, возбуждающая уголовное дело (то есть, в большинстве случаев государство) называется обвинение, но сторона по делу, подающая гражданский иск является истец. В обоих видах действия другая сторона известна в качестве ответчика. Возбуждено уголовное дело в отношении лица, называемого г-жа Браун будет описано как "Народ против Браун" в Соединенных Штатах и Королева против Браун" в Англии, Но гражданский иск между госпожой Браун и господином Смит будет "Браун против Смита", если он был запущен Браун, и «Смит против Брауна", если он был запущен господином Смит. Данные из уголовного процесса не обязательно принимаются в качестве доказательства в гражданском деле о том же. Например, жертва дорожно-транспортного происшествия непосредственно не выиграет, если водитель, который ранил его признан виновным в совершении преступления при неосторожном вождении. Он прежде должен будет доказать свою правоту в гражданском иске. На самом деле он может доказать свое гражданское дело даже тогда, когда водитель был признан невиновным в уголовном процессе. После того, как истец доказал, что ответчик несет ответственность, главный аргумент в гражданском суде - сумма денег, или ущерб, который ответчик должен выплатить истцу.

William Shakespeare, the greatest English playwright, was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon in England. Stradford is a small country town in a farming district near the centre of England. The Avon, which is a pretty river with grass and trees all along its banks, runs through Stratford. Not much is known of Shakespeare’s father. He was a farmer who, at different times of his life of, sold meat and bought and sold wool. He was poor and was often in money difficulties. Very little is known about the life of his only son William also. The little house in which the great writer was born still stands. It is now a museum. William went to school in Stratford. In 1586 he went to London. Probably the first work he did there was at one of the two theaters that there were in London at that time. Then he became an actor and soon began to write plays for the company of actors to which he belonged. Shakespeare bought the largest house in his home time in 1597, but he didn’t spend much time there till 1610. He spent the last years of his life mostly in Stratford, but he often visited London. He died in 1616.
