LEGAL SYSTEMS OF MODERN TIMES: DISCUSSION POINTS
Journal Title: Юридичний бюлетень - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue
Abstract
Each civilized state has its own legal norms, its own legal institutions, its own branches of law, its own system of law, and its own legal system. Similar national legal systems are united, as is known, into interstate legal systems (legal families). The following classification of legal systems (families) is regarded as the most relevant one: the Roman-German (continental) system (family), with the separation of the Roman and Central (German) groups; Anglo-American system (family); the system (family) of religious law (with the distinction of Muslim, Hindu and Jewish law); traditional law system (family); socialist legal system (family). Mixed legal systems should also be distinguished as a separate group. Each of these systems has its own definitions, criteria for systematization, etc. Legal systems in the so-called socialist countries, overwhelming majority of which were part of the former USSR and the countries of Eastern Europe, deserve special attention. The ongoing reform process in this countries needs going on in line with the processes of world globalization, with the development of each such state, with the development of a legal system and all its necessary components. This is not an easy task, as national features and a number of circumstances do not currently allow them to smoothly join this or that legal system, in our case the Romano-Germanic legal system, which almost all European countries belong to. The need for a clear definition of legal systems is also needed for modern comparative studies, which emphasizes the need for special investigation into this issue. Сlassifying national legal systems, one must take into account the historical, economic, political, cultural and other conditions of their formation in a particular country. Only the employment of suach an approach makes it possible to achieve effective legal regulation of public relations when introducing new norms, institutions and principles or when borrowing them from other legal systems. This also applies to such processes at a sectoral level, including criminal law.
