Talk:Adversarial system

Wouldn't the redirect be better the other way around as User:Tarquin suggests? Alex756

[edit] Intro
Is it me or is the current intro rather too long and detailed? I'd be inclined to chop it off after the first para, making the rest a new section - but that would overlap somewhat with existing sections, so editing it down would take more work than that easy solution.

[edit] Possible merges
Do any of these articles deserve to be merged into this one? Adversarial process, Adversary proceeding, Adversarial review. They seem to be suspiciously similar, but possibly different contexts. -- Bovineone 02:06, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Right to counsel" paragraph
I think this paragraph might get into a little too much detail for this particular article. Ideas about how to present this in a more general and global way? - danculley 18:34 04 Aug 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "They point out that"
They point out that most cases in adversarial systems are actually resolved by plea bargain and settlement.
This declaration of fact desparately needs a reference showing that it is true. Is it? Even if it's true in the USA, that's not the same as "adversarial systems". If it isn't a demonstrable fact, but just an argument made by opponents of adversarial systems, then a reference to one such argument, and a modification of the sentence to read "They claim that in most cases" would be sufficient.

[edit] writing style lacks clarity
Upon reading these paragraphs, I often can't determine when the adversarial system is being described, when it is being compared to the inqusitorial system, and when one system incorporates elements of the other. This should be re-written using more "compare and contrast" cues to make the two systems more identifiable. Perhaps a summary using "bullet points" might also be appropriate.
