Типи правових систем світу
1. Романо-германський тип правової системи (країни континентальної Європи: Італія, Франція, Іспанія, Португалія, Німеччина, Австрія, Швейцарія та ін.). В межах романо-германського типу правової системи виділяють два підтипи, або дві правові групи:
— романську (Франція, Бельгія, Люксембург, Голландія, Італія, Португалія, Іспанія. Провідною у цій групі є національна правова система Франції);
— германську (Німеччина, Австрія, Швейцарія та ін. Провідною у цій групі є національна правова система Німеччини).
2. Англо-американський тип правової системи (Англія, Північна Ірландія, США, Канада, Австралія, Нова Зеландія, деякою мірою — колишні колонії Британської імперії (нині 36 країн є членами Співдружності) та ін.). Англо-американський тип правової системи ділиться на два підтипи, або дві групи:
— англійське загальне право (Англія);
— американське право (США).
3. Змішаний тип правової системи виник на стику двох класичних типів правової системи: романo-германської та англо-американської і має специфічні риси.
У рамках цього типу можна виділити дві групи:
— північноєвропейські (скандинавські) правові системи (Данія, Швеція, Норвегія, Ісландія, Фінляндія);
— латиноамериканські правові системи (Аргентина, Парагвай, Уругвай, Чилі та ін.).
4. Релігійно-традиційний тип правової системи.
