==Characteristic traits== Socialist law is similar to the [[Civil law (legal system)|civil law]] but with a greatly increased [[public law]] sector and decreased [[private law]] sector.<ref>{{cite book|last=Glenn|first=H. Patrick|title=Legal Traditions of the World: Sustainable Diversity in Law|year=2010|publisher=Oxford University Press|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eERrPWIQn2kC&q=%22Socialist+law%22&pg=PA331|edition= 4th |location= New York |isbn= 978-0-19-958080-4 |oclc=650838256}}</ref> * extensive social warrants of the state (the rights to a job, free education, free healthcare, retirement at 60 for men and 55 for women, maternity leave, free disability benefits and sick leave compensation, subsidies to multichildren families, ...) in return for a high degree of social mobilization. * the judicial process lacks an [[adversarial system|adversarial]] character; public prosecution is considered as "provider of justice." * partial or total expulsion of the former [[ruling classes]] from the public life at early stages of existence of each socialist state; however, in all socialist states this policy gradually changed into the policy of "one socialist nation without classes" * diversity of political views directly discouraged. * the ruling Communist party was eventually subject to prosecution through party committees in first place. * abolition of [[Private property#Socialist perspectives|private property]], thus near total collectivization and nationalization of the means of production; * subordination of the judiciary to the Communist Party * low respect for [[intellectual property]] as knowledge and culture was considered a right for human kind, and not a privilege as in the free market economies. A specific institution characteristic to Socialist law was the so-called [[burlaw court]] (or, verbally, "court of comrades", Russian товарищеский суд) which decided on minor offences.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Berman|first1=Harold J.|last2=Spindler|first2=James W.|date=1973|title=Soviet Criminal Law and Procedure: The RFSR Codes|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/1227986|journal=Stanford Law Review|volume=25|issue=2|pages=842|doi=10.2307/1227986|jstor=1227986|issn=0038-9765}}</ref>
