Very interesting piece on the workings of French justice. Based on the Napoleonic Code, they don't use an adversarial system of questioning. Instead the judge is an active participant in the search for truth and justice.
One of the cases showed the judge slipping from her stance of detached consideration and ruling against a guy because he annoyed her...a nice human touch...although not for him.
It would be neat to see films like this from cultures all over the world to learn how crimes/disputes were resolved.
