Sources of Law The main sources of law in the United Kingdom are four: common law, statute law, law emanating from the European Union and international law.
The Union of Crowns in 1603 meant that the same person was the monarch in the two kingdoms of Scotland and England. However, this did not immediately integrate all the institutions of the two countries. The Union with Scotland Act 1707 established the United Kingdom of Great Britain and provided that this kingdom would be regulated by one Parliament. However, the Scottish legal system was retained and even today changes planned for the whole of Great Britain may require specific Scottish legislation.

V. What is characteristic of American legal system? The American legal system, like the English, is methodologically mainly a case law system. Case Law: law based on decisions made by judges in earlier cases.

Solicitors have direct contact with their clients. In most cases, barristers do not. In almost all cases, a client who needs the services of a barrister must go first to a solicitor, who will then instruct, or brief the barrister.

Many solicitors deal with a range of legal work, such as: litigation, commercial, conveyancing, employment, family, immigration, licensing, probate, etc.

★ 关于普通法
所谓“普通法”，就是“普遍通用”的法律，或“共 同适用”的法律。普通法不同于那些仅适用某个地 区的习惯法，也不同于那些源于罗马法的教会法。 从某种意义上讲，普通法是由国家意志统一了的地 方习惯法。然而，普通法不是由国王制定的，也不 是一夜之间就令行天下的，它是通过王室法官的巡 回审判活动逐渐形成的。
其主要法律原则是：“公平且善良”。
作为普通法的补充救济手段，衡平法主要适用

★ 关于美国法律
美国属于普通法系国家。虽然制定法或成文法在 当代美国的法律制度中占有重要地位，但是判例法 或不成文法仍然是美国法律的基石。联邦法与州法 并存；制订法与判例法并存。
普通法在发展过程中遇到了所有法律制度所面 临的共同问题，即如何协调法律的稳定性与 灵活性的问题。
1258《牛津条例》禁止法院就新的诉讼种类发 布令状，这就使得一些人很正当的诉讼请求 也会因为没有令状前例而得不到法院的救济。 为了弥补普通法的这一缺陷，一种新的不拘 泥于令状制度的法律形式出现了，这就是衡 平法。
