| Abstract from DBPedia | Comparative law is the study of differences and similarities between the law (legal systems) of different countries. More specifically, it involves the study of the different legal "systems" (or "families") in existence in the world, including the common law, the civil law, socialist law, Canon law, Jewish Law, Islamic law, Hindu law, and Chinese law. It includes the description and analysis of foreign legal systems, even where no explicit comparison is undertaken. The importance of comparative law has increased enormously in the present age of internationalism, economic globalization, and democratization.比較法学（ひかくほうがく、英: Comparative law）は、各国の法を比較する、法学の一分野。各国の法律を比較して、対比させて論じる立場。法比較学と呼ばれることもある。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Comparative_law) |
