    Solution

    The role of judges in interpreting and developing law. In a common law legal system, judges have a significant role in interpreting and developing the law through their decisions in individual cases. This means that legal precedent is important and can be used to guide future decisions. In a civil law legal system, on the other hand, judges are primarily focused on applying the law as written, and there is less emphasis on legal precedent.
