Inquisitorial Procedure, as a book category, covers works on legal systems in which judges or magistrates lead the investigation of facts, rather than relying primarily on a contest between prosecution and defense. The genre spans medieval and early modern Roman‑canonical and ecclesiastical tribunals (including the various Inquisitions) through to modern civil‑law traditions in Europe and beyond. Titles may include procedural manuals and trial records, studies of evidentiary rules, the role of the examining magistrate and the dossier, the weight of confession, secrecy versus publicity, the rights of the accused, and reforms that curbed historical abuses and aligned procedures with contemporary human-rights standards. Comparative analyses contrasting inquisitorial and adversarial models, as well as interdisciplinary research linking law, religion, and state formation, are also common within this category.
