Common law
In common law legal systems, the law is created and/or refined by judges: a decision in the case currently pending depends on decisions in previous cases and affects the law to be applied in future cases. When there is no authoritative statement of the law, common law judges have the authority and duty to "make" law by creating precedent. The body of precedent is called "common law" and it binds future decisions. In future cases, when parties disagree on what the law is, an "ideal" common law court looks to past precedential decisions of relevant courts. If a similar dispute has been resolved in the past, the court is bound to follow the reasoning used in the prior decision (this principle is known as stare decisis). If, however, the court finds that the current dispute is fundamentally distinct from all previous cases, it will decide as a "matter of first impression." Thereafter, the new decision becomes precedent, and will bind future courts under the principle of stare decisis.

Common Law
Das Common Law ist das in den angelsächsischen Ländern teilweise fortgeltende Recht, das sich nicht auf Gesetze, sondern auf maßgebliche richterliche Urteile der Vergangenheit (Präzedenzfälle) stützt und auch entsprechend weitergebildet wird. Das Common Law hat also Züge des Gewohnheitsrechts. Nur ein geringer, jedoch im 20./21. Jahrhundert dann stark zunehmender Anteil ist kodifiziert (sog. Statutory Law). Das Common Law umfasst alle Rechtsgebiete, d. h. sowohl  Zivilrecht (Civil Law) als auch Öffentliches Recht (inkl. Strafrecht).

Common law
Il sistema del Common law è un modello di ordinamento giuridico di matrice anglosassone, fondato su leggi non scritte e sviluppatosi attraverso i precedenti delle decisioni giurisprudenziali. Il sistema del Common Law è attualmente in vigore in AustraliaCanada (esclusa la regione del Quebec), nel Regno Unito (esclusa la Scozia), e negli Stati Uniti d'America (escluso lo Stato della Louisiana). Altre nazioni, peraltro, hanno adattato il sistema del common law alle loro tradizioni, creando così un sistema misto. Per esempio, l'India e la Nigeria attuano il sistema del common law frammisto a regole giuridiche di stampo religioso.

Common law
Common law is een systeem van wet- en rechtsvorming op basis van gewoonterecht. Het bestaat nog steeds in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en sommige van hun vroegere kolonies.

In de Middeleeuwen werd in Engeland en het Duitse keizerrijk recht gesproken op basis van gewoonterecht. In tegenstelling tot in het Franse koninkrijk werd het Romeins recht daar niet overgenomen (droit écrit). In England zochten bijvoorbeeld juristen de gemeenschappelijke rechtsregels (common law) op. Ook de rechters reisden rond en lieten zich voor informatie over het plaatselijke gewoonterecht en feitenrelaas bijstaan door een comité van plaatselijke bewoners: de jury. Het onderscheidt zich van andere rechtssystemen doordat het ontstaat vanuit wat men gebruikelijk acht en wat de rechtspraak aan uitspraken (en dus wetsvorming) oplevert.

Common law
Common law (em português, "lei comum") é um sistema legal oriundo da Inglaterra, utilizado ali e na maioria dos países que foram colônias ou territórios britânicos. Sua característica principal é a valorização da jurisprudência em detrimento das leis estatutárias.

O common law provém do direito inglês não escrito, que se desenvolveu a partir do século XII, como conjugação dos direitos Bárbaro e Romano (com nítida predominância do primeiro). É a lei "feita pelo juiz": a primeira fonte do direito é a jurisprudência. Elaborados por indução, os conceitos jurídicos emergem e evoluem ao longo do tempo: são construídos pelo amálgama de inúmeros casos que, juntos, delimitam campos de aplicação. Foi Consagrada na Carta Magna Britânica, de 1215.

英美法系
英美法系亦称普通法系海洋法系,「普通法」是譯自英文「Common Law」,即「普遍通用」之意,与欧陆法系并称为当今世界最主要的两大法系,范围包括英国(除苏格兰)、美国(除路易斯安那州)、加拿大(除魁北克省)、澳洲、广大的英语国家和地区及很多前英国殖民地香港也包括在内。

大陆法系相比,英美法系多採不成文法,尤其是判例法,强调“遵循先例”原则;审判中采取当事人主义和陪審團制度,对于司法程序比较重视;法律制度和法学理论的发展往往依赖司法实务人员(尤其是高等法院法官)的推动,即法官实质上通过做出判决起到了立法的效果。普通法系的立法精神在于:除非某一项目的法例因为客观环境的需要或为了解决争议而需要以成文法制定,否则,只需要根据当地过去对於该项目的习惯而评定谁是谁非。

英美法系起源于英国。普通法一词(Common Law),是相对于在各地区的地方贵族的法庭而言,由英格兰国王指派的专职法官巡游各地,推广相对统一的国家法律。这一做法主要始于亨利二世,被认为是对于欧洲旧有司法制度的重大变革。由于国王的法官力求在全国范围施行较统一的司法尺度,于是开始重视对于过往案件的参考,英国的案件报告系统逐渐形成,也成为后来法律系统的重要基础。

המשפט המקובל

המשפט המקובל (Common law) הינו שיטה משפטית המהווה חלק ניכר ממשפטה של אנגליה ובעקבותיה של ארצות רבות, במיוחד אלו השייכות לחבר העמים הבריטי או שהיו בעבר תחת שלטונה של בריטניה, ובהן, בימיה הראשונים, מדינת ישראל. המשפט המקובל כולל בתוכו עקרונות רבים המהווים חוק לא סטטוטורי, דהיינו חוק שלא נתקבל על ידי פרלמנט. הרעיון החשוב ביותר הקשור במשפט המקובל מבסס במידה רבה את פסיקות השופטים על עקרון התקדים המחייב; פסיקות הרשות השופטת מהוות "חוק" באותה מידה כמו זה שנוצר על ידי הרשות המחוקקת.

המשפט המקובל הוא אחת משתי שיטות המשפט הנפוצות ביותר בעולם. נהוג להציגו כשיטה נפרדת, ובמידת־מה מנוגדת, למשפט הקונטיננטלי (civil law).

    COMMON LAW
    The common law tradition found in English Canada derives from feudal England where it had become the practice for the King to resolve disputes in accordance with local custom. Customs which were recognized throughout the country were called common custom and decisions made by the King and by subsequent courts set up to settle disputes became known as common law. Common law is considered a source of law which means that the cases settled over the past 600 years themselves become part of the law and these precedents become binding on present and future judges. Another source of law is statutes. See CASE LAW / CIVIL CODE / STARE DECISIS / STATUTES / .

    The 'Lectric Law Library
    Common Law
    That which derives its force and authority from the universal consent and immemorial practice of the people. The system of jurisprudence that originated in England and which was latter adopted in the U.S. that is based on precedent instead of statutory laws.

    Traditional law of an area or region; also known as case law. The law created by judges when deciding individual disputes or cases. The body of law which includes both the unwritten law of England and the statutes passed before the settlement of the United States.

    In Old England there were two types of Courts - law and equity. In the law court the Judge applied statutes. As time went on situations that were not covered by statutes were uncovered and Judges 'created' law, usually in equity. This is 'common law.'

    The U.S. is a common law country. In all states except Louisiana (which is based on the French civil code), the common law of England was adopted as the general law of the state, EXCEPT when a statute provides otherwise. Common law has no statutory basis; judges establish common law through written opinions that are binding on future decisions of lower courts in the same jurisdiction. Broad areas of the law, most notably relating to property, contracts and torts are traditionally part of the common law. These areas of the law are mostly within the jurisdiction of the states and thus state courts are the primary source of common law. Thus, 'common law' is used to fill in gaps. Common law changes over time, and at this time, each state has its own common law on many topics. The area of federal common law is primarily limited to federal issues that have not been addressed by a statute.

    Even if federal common law otherwise would operate, it is displaced when Congress has decided the matter. See, e.g., Central Bank v. First Interstate Bank of Denver, N.A., 114 S.Ct. 1439, 1448 (1994) (holding that the conclusion that Congress did not intend to impose aiding and abetting liability under section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act 'resolve[d] the case' notwithstanding the acknowledged power of the federal courts, with respect to the section 10(b) actions, to fashion federal common law that 'attempt[s] to infer `how . . . Congress would have addressed the issue,'' (quoting Musick, Peeler & Garrett v. Employers Ins. of Wausau, 113 S.Ct. 2085, 2090 (1993).

    Common law
    Legally binding rules or principles of justice developed in the course of history from the gradual accumulation of rulings by judges in individual cases, as differentiated from the kind of statute law embodied in special legal codes or statutes enacted by legislative assemblies or imposed by executive decrees.
