“Scandinavian law, with a foundation of its customary laws, is pliable and less authoritarian than other European legal systems as it is relatively less restrictive. The laws focus greatly on rules, principles and precedents that have developed in practice, especially in courts. Further, most laws are judge-made, and as the principle of stare decisis does not apply, the courts are open to reflect ever-changing social conditions.”
Love the British legal system. Simple, pragmatic, efficient.
What is Jewish Law? Basically based on the Torah?
I do think we’re excluding some less well-known exceptions. Like the special family law allowed for members of the Thracian Muslim Minority in Greece.
Yeah Lebanon is only like 43% correct. Islamic law for marriages, divorces and so on applies for muslim only (there are laws for shiaa and another set of laws for sunnis). Catholic law with a maronite twist applies for maronite christians. Orthodox christian law applies for orthodox christians, and so on for every sect. Muslims cannot marry christians in Lebanon, so we go to Cyprus, get a civil marriage and certify it in Lebanon. So civil law is valid in Lebanon but there is no legitimate way to get it. It‘s… it‘s a mess.
Jews rule the oceans
now if only I understood what this means…

Ths is actually quite a fantastic map that does a tremendous job mapping a matrix of complex and overlapping legal systems clearly and concisely.
I will hve to look up the difference between civic and common laws. Interesting
Germanic law: It’s a thing.
Another argument for Anglosphere free trade and free movement area 👍
Common law is the best thing the Brits gave America.
For Moldova it should be NG or G
This is probably the worst depictions of the Netherlands I’ve seen in a long time. Ignoring the fact that they filled up the IJsselmeer, this is pretty common on larger maps, they actually excluded Flevoland. For those not in the know, Flevoland is the 12th province of the Netherlands that was created by filling up a large section of the IJsselmeer. So the parts we actually left as water are completely filled up, but the one specific section we removed all the water from is still sea according to this map.
Good job, Angloshpere legal same
Quebec was like 1/2 annexed by Labrador?
What is “common law” ?!?
edit: thx tbdjdb2 for explaining that it is a bullshit system.
Morale of story – dont go to saudi arabia
Scotland can… into the EU?
what’s going on in Louisiana?
It’s an anglocentric view that all other legal systems can just be grouped together, while your own deserves it’s own category.
Wow ! There is so much jewish law! I didnt know that.
I see a new conspiracy coming off the back of this, that the Jewish people control the seas!
I once heard an English judge say:
“People always think their own law system is the best…except in England, once we saw what the Americans did with ours!”
Why is “Chilean law” a category?
> The Netherlands: Napoleonic, Germanic, *and indigenous* law
What is indigenous Dutch if not Germanic?
Oh, I wish this map was correct.
Canadians are so optimistic, it seeems.
There’s a law in my country?! (Bosnia & Herzegovina)
As of 2021 you can say poland is customary, because we ditched everything we stood for.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian law or Nordic law is considered related to German Civil Law, but there are a few differences.
