Document Summary

Risk reduction: take some steps to ameliorate the risk. Risk shifting: putting the risk onto someone else (insurance) Risk acceptance: we don"t really need to worry about it. A set of rules, established by the government, and enforced by the government. If i can make you do it, then it is a law. Laws are laws if they are good for society. The law is the mood of the judge. The judge has an opinion in a case. It is a law because the judge said it. Very dif cult for people to actually use the legal system. Civil law is based on a comprehensive code (quebec, parts of europe) Civil law: about money/compensation you broke a contract. Criminal law: hard to win, because its harder to prove. Civil law: probability, you have to convince the court. So much easier to win a civil case than a criminal case.
