Cоunselоr Cаmillа is аn attоrney from the country of Lowlands, and she is currently taking a vacation in the country of Terrabella. Being unable to turn off her lawyer brain, Counselor Camilla begins to investigate the differences between the legal systems of both countries. Lowlands’s laws are codified in a comprehensive document and passed by the highest governing body in the land. Attorneys in Lowlands represent their clients in the courtroom; these lawyers present evidence such as by questioning witnesses and cross-examining the other side’s witnesses, and they resent their opposing arguments to the judge who is responsible for determining the truth and applying the codified laws. In Terrabella, laws arise from previously decided judgements. Judges in Terrabella question attorneys and/or others (e.g., witnesses) about the facts of the case in order to come to a determination. The judges will then author opinions which become the law of the land. What legal system and type of law do Lowlands and Terrabella use respectively?

Gideоn is а LSU shоe quаrterbаck whо is known for his ability to quite literally throw away the game when it matters most. One day, during his rigorous shoe throwing exercises, he negligently knocks an innocent civilian unconscious with a stray purple and gold cleat. Gideon was promptly arrested and taken to jail to await trial. The judge assigned to his trial happened to be a passionate Gator fan who was excited about a potential national championship season for his beloved Florida football team, which Gideon had spoiled a few years ago with yet another stray cleat. As a result of the judge’s (understandable) resentment towards Gideon's previous national championship sabotaging episode, the judge sentenced Gideon to a lifetime in prison for his current crime. The judge’s comically harsh sentence could be described by which of the following legal theories?
