Abstract

"Common law" is a legal family that includes legal systems that have a number of common features (sources of law, style of thinking, legal terminology, features of judicial systems, etc.). At the same time, the countries included in this legal family retain a number of independent features due to the nature of their formation. English law and US law occupy a special place in the legal family. They have a significant impact on the development of other legal systems, primarily Canada and Australia. The NISa will also consider "mixed jurisdictions" - the legal systems of some Asian and African countries, in which different legal cultures, including common law, are represented
