Legal System

The modern legal systems of the world are usually based on one of three essential systems such as common law, civil law and religious law, or combinations of these. However, the legal system of every country is shaped by its exclusive history and so incorporates individual variations. Common law is the most widespread system of law around the world, being employed by the most number of people and the world’s jurisdictions, while Civil law, is the most widespread by landmass.
