Journal Title: Ancient Land - Year 2024, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract Legal systems are defined as “framework of rules, procedures, and institutions that a community uses to interpret and enforce their laws”. Even though there are many types of legal systems, such as Romano-Germanic and Anglo-Saxon legal systems, customary law, religious law, and hybrid or mixed systems, two of them have had even more impact and influence in development of legal systems of today. Romano-Germanic and Anglo-Saxon legal systems, or in other words continental and common law, can be considered two main types of legal systems. These legal systems have been formed and developed throughout history and have been adopted by many countries as legal systems. Romano-Germanic law is adopted as the legal system of Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Azerbaijan, meanwhile Anglo-Saxon system is adopted in countries such as United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, New Zealand and so on. Each of these legal systems have a lot of distinguishing characteristics, mostly observed in elements such as historical development, sources of the law, court proceedings, existence of precedent, legal education and so on. Even though both systems are quite distinct due to fundamental differences between their rules, procedures and institutions, they have also affected the development of each other, and can present some similarities as well.
