Legislation >Concepts and Terminology
Comparative jurisprudence
Comparative jurisprudence refers to the comparative study of law in different countries, including a comparative study of laws between China and other countries or laws between foreign countries. Comparative law is not a law like a country's civil law, criminal law, or any country's department law, but a legal research method. Actually, comparative law, comparative jurisprudence and comparison method calibration are all synonyms. Carrying out comparative law research actively is an important task of the current law field of our country.

Comparative Law

Comparative Law is the study of the relationship between legal systems or between rules of more than one system, their differences and similarities. Comparative Law is a method of comparing legal systems, and such comparison produces results relating to the different legal cultures being analysed. Comparative Law also plays a role in a better understanding of foreign legal systems. In this age of globalization and the complexity and intertwinement of international public and private law, it plays an increasing important role in international harmonization and unification of laws, thereby leading to more international cooperation and a better world order. Legislators increasingly make use of foreign law in drafting new legislation and in more and more countries courts draw inspiration from abroad as well. The increasing importance of comparing legal systems is true not only for the academic discipline of Comparative Law as such (where the focus is usually on methodology), but also for specific areas of law.

UPDATE: Comparative Law

What is meant by comparative law? In the strict sense, it is the theoretical study of legal systems by comparison with each other, and has a tradition going back over a century. In recent years it has gained in practical importance for two reasons. The first is the increased globalization of world trade, involving the need to conduct business in unfamiliar legal systems. The second is the move towards harmonization of laws, and more recently towards codification within the European Union, where several legal traditions coexist. More loosely, there are publications and internet resources that assemble legal materials from several jurisdictions, without necessarily undertaking comparisons, but they can be seen as “tools of the trade” for comparative lawyers.
