Answer:

Civil law

Step-by-step explanation:

Wergild is a system which mandated a person to pay compensation for murder or some other heinous offence as punishment.

Civil law on the other hand is a system of law that regulates the conduct of people, groups and organizations.

It is similar to the wergild because a Plea-bargain can be reached.
