fr:Common law nl:Common law de:Common Law

This article concerns the common-law legal system, as contrasted with the civil law legal system; for other meanings of the term, within the field of law, see Common law (disambiguation).

The common-law legal system forms a major part of the law of many countries, especially those with a history as English colonies. It is notable for the inclusion of extensive non-statutory law reflecting a consensus of centuries of judgements by working jurists.
