| Summary: | Adquisitorial is a concept that embodies the actuality
of a fusion of two legal systems in order to achieve sustainable justice through the merging of best practices from the adversarial and inquisitorial methods of criminal procedure. There are some national
courts and even international bodies such as the ICC that have started operating the adquisitorial method. Ample examples can be found in the South African Laws and in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It had been noted that the procedure used by ICC
shows the characteristics of the Common Law System or Adversarial System and the Civil Law System or Inquisitorial System in a mixed mode. This paper will look into the play out of criminal trials using
the adversarial method on one hand and the inquisitorial method on the other hand; and then finally look into systems that are practicing
the mixed system of adquisitorial.
