What is the most common feature of the adversarial system? (A) The rules of evidence do not apply - HSC - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 12 - 2008 - Paper 1

The most common feature of the adversarial system is that hearings are based on the parties’ oral argument. In this system, two opposing sides present their arguments to an impartial judge (or jury), who then makes a decision based on the evidence and arguments presented. This approach emphasizes the role of each party in articulating their case and relies on the adversarial nature of legal proceedings to elicit the truth.
