That being said I have chosen a country I believe to be similar without doing any research prior. I am looking forward to see if my initial thoughts are true or if my research shows there to be a difference. We are asked to compare the two countries using 3 of the following five topics: Substantive Law Procedural Law Judicial Review Policing Systems 5.International Police Cooperation The three topics I am choosing to compare and contrast are the first 3, substantive law, procedural law, and judicial law.
