LEGAL SYSTEMS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

Continental systems have resulted from attempts by governments to producea set of codes to govern every legal aspect of a citizen’s life. Versions ofRoman law had long influenced many parts of Europe, including the case lawtraditions of Scotland, but had little impact on English law. It is important notto exaggerate the differences between these two traditions of law. For onething, many case law systems, such as California’s, have areas of law thathave been comprehensively codified. For another, many countries can be saidto have belonged to the Roman tradition long before codifying their laws, andlarge uncodified areas of the law still remain. French public law has neverbeen codified, and French courts have produced a great deal of case law ininterpreting codes that become out of date because of social change. Theclear distinction between legislature and judiciary has weakened in manycountries, including Germany, France and Italy, where courts are able tochallenge the constitutional legality of a law made by Parliament.

Despite a tradition of private law that more closely resembled Englishprinciples of judicial precedent, the law-makers of Meiji Japan decided toadopt criminal and civil codes closely based on the existing French models.However, this rapid import of a new system was to a large extent an attemptto give Japan the appearance of a modernized, even Westernized country, and the way in which justice was actually administered continued to reflect olderJapanese principles of refraining wherever possible from formal and openmethods of solving disputes. New codes of law developed under the postwar occupation show some influence from Anglo-American common lawtraditions (such as statutory forms of trust).
