The difference between common law systems and civil law systems seems a little fuzzy to me. The United States is considered to be purely a common law system, but aren’t our codified Constitution and the United States Code, in addition to binding judicial precedent, more indicative of a combined common/civil law system? If not, then what exactly sets civil law systems (as in Europe) or combined common/civil systems (as in Louisiana, Quebec, and Scotland) apart from common law systems?

Is there a law enforcement job where you are assigned a criminal and have to locate, and arrest him?

I want to go into law enforcement but i don’t want to just do things like highway patrol and stuff. I would rather be used exclusively for finding criminals like serial killers and rapists and things. If there is a job like this, what is it called, and what do you have to do to get it?

I am trying to decide what kind of law I would like to study. All I have ruled out at this point is working in criminal law, that doesn’t really interest me. What other options are out there, and what kind of things do lawyers in those fields do?
