外国法制史期末复习整理
一、简述两大法系的概念和差异。
(P8—P9)英美法系,是以英国的普通法、衡平法和制定法为基础,融入罗马法、教会法以及中世纪商法的若干原则而形成的一个世界性的法律体系。
大陆法系,是以罗马法为基础,以1804《法国民法典》和1900年《德国民法典》为代表的一个世界性法律体系。
两大法系之间存在明显差异:(1)主要法律渊源不同,英美法主要是判例法,奉行“遵循先例”原则;大陆法除个别领域外,各部门法领域都建立了比较系统的成文法典。
(2)两者继承罗马法的程度不同,英美法只在个别领域不系统地吸收了罗马法的若干原则和制度;大陆法则是在全面吸收罗马法的基础上发展起来的,罗马成文法典的传统、私法体系、法律的基本制度和原则,乃至概念与术语等,都为大陆法系采纳。
(3)法律体系和法官的作用不同,英美法以判例法为基础,以制定法、习惯法,惯例等为补充,法律体系庞杂,法官在法律的发展中处于中心地位;大陆法系的法律体系比较完整,概念术语比较明确,法官作用不如英美法的,不能擅自创造法律。
(4)司法组织与对程序法的重视程度不同。
英美法系中,行政诉讼与普通诉讼一般不分,法官一般从律师中选拔得较多,强调程序法的重要性,实行对抗制诉讼,当事人主义色彩较浓;大陆法系一般采用普通法院和行政法院分离的双轨制,法官经考试由政府任命,比较注重实体法。
(5)英美法系一般较强调法律的实际效用和经验,大陆法系较注重法律的理论概括,讲究概念的抽象性和明确性。
二、楔形文字法的概念:(P19)指古代西亚两河流域地区各奴隶制国家以楔形文字锲刻而成的法律的总称。
三、汉穆拉比法典的概念:(P21)公元前18世纪,巴比伦的第六代王汉穆拉比完成了两河流域的统一,并制定了《汉穆拉比法典》(又称石柱法),是楔形文字法的集大成,标志着楔形文字法发展到较完备的程度。
四、简述《汉穆拉比法典》的内容及影响。
(P21—P30)内容:(1)君主专制制度。
君权与神权相结合,国王集行政、立法、司法、军事和祭祀大权于一身,握有神权。

Where there are several successive bona fide purchases and recordings of a deed toa tract of land adjacent to the tract of land occupied, and the cumulative possessions arelonger than the statute of limitations for actions to recover property, there is sufficient privity to permit tacking and thus establish adverse possession. Reasoning: 1. The court reasoned that the rule of continuity was not one requiring absolute mat he matical continuity, but rather if the land is occupied during the period of the year when it is capable of use, that is sufficient.2. The requirement of "privity" is intended to keep chains of unrelated squatters from voiding the title of the original owner, and clearly those are not the facts in this case. Each possessor was a bona fide purchaser from the previous one. Furthermore, where a person claims more than his deed describes, the question of privity is not defeated, so it should be the same for where the deeddescribes an adjacent parcel of land.I ssues1.1s tacking of possession by subsequent occupants permitted if the land is occupied under amistake of fact?2.May a party prevail on a claim of adverse possession if physical use of the property waslimited to summer occupancy?1 .Under WA property law, may a person who receives record title to tract A under themistaken belief that he has title to tract B (immediately adjacent to tract A) and who subsequently occupies tract B, for the purpose of establishing title to tract B by adverse possession, use the periods of possession of tract B by his immediate predecessors who also had record title to tract A?Holding and Rule1 .Yes. Tacking of possession by subsequent occupants is permitted if the land is occupiedunder a mistake of fact provided the occupants are in privity.2. Yes. A party may prevail on a claim of adverse possession if physical use of the propertywas limited to summer occupancy.3. Yes. When several successive purchasers received record title to tract A, under themistaken belief that they were acquiring tract B, immediately adjacent, and where possession of tract B is transferred and occupied in a continuous manner for more than 10 years bysuccessive occupants, there is sufficient privity of estate to permit tacking and thus establish adverse possession as a matter of law.。

英美法系期末试题及答案
英美法系期末试题及答案【注意:以下内容为示例,并非真实试题及答案】Introduction本文将介绍英美法系的一些期末试题,以及对应的答案。
通过对这些试题的学习和理解,有助于对英美法系的基本原理和规定有更深入的了解。
试题一:合同法1. 根据英美法系的原则,请简述合同的四要素。
答:在英美法系中,合同的四要素是:offer,acceptance,consideration和intention to create legal relations。
合同需要有一个offer,即一方向另一方提供合同条件;接受这个offer即表示接受合同条件;合同双方需要有相互的对价(consideration),即互相交换的利益或价值;双方还要有意愿创造法律关系,即他们意图通过签订合同来受到法律保护。
2. 根据英美法系的原则,请简述下列合同类型的区别和特点:口头合同和书面合同。
答:口头合同是指双方通过口头表达达成的合同,而书面合同则是通过书面形式达成的合同。
在英美法系中,口头合同与书面合同的效力是平等的,但书面合同在法律上更容易执行和证明。
口头合同的特点是便捷、灵活,适用于日常生活中的小额交易,但可信度相对较低;而书面合同更适用于重要的商业交易,具有更高的可信度和法律效力。
试题二:侵权法1. 根据英美法系的原则,请简述侵权行为的三个要素。
答:在英美法系中,侵权行为的三个要素是:过失、损害和因果关系。
过失指行为人做出了不符合合理人标准的行为;损害是指侵权行为造成了他人的经济或人身损害;而因果关系是指侵权行为导致的损害与行为之间存在直接关联。
2. 根据英美法系的原则,请简述侵权法中的两种责任类型:严格责任和过失责任。
答:在侵权法中,严格责任和过失责任是两种常见的责任类型。
严格责任是指无需证明被告存在过失,只需证明被告承担了造成损害的行为。
严格责任适用于某些特定的情况,例如危险品的运输等。
而过失责任则要求原告证明被告存在过失行为,即没有遵守合理人的标准。
英美法概论知识点总结
英美法概论知识点总结English Law:- Common law system: The English legal system is based on the common law system, which is characterized by the use of judicial precedent and the doctrine of stare decisis. This means that previous court decisions are binding on lower courts and serve as a guide for future cases.- Sources of law: English law is derived from a variety of sources, including case law, statutes, and custom. While case law and statutes are the primary sources of law, custom can also play a significant role in shaping legal principles.- Court structure: The English court system is divided into two main branches: the criminal courts and the civil courts. The criminal courts deal with cases involving criminal offenses, while the civil courts handle disputes between individuals or organizations.- Legal professions: The legal profession in England is divided into two main categories: solicitors and barristers. Solicitors are legal professionals who provide legal advice and assistance to clients, while barristers are court advocates who specialize in representing clients in court.American Law:- Federalism: The American legal system is based on the principle of federalism, which means that it is divided between the federal government and the individual state governments. This division of powers and authority gives rise to a dual court system, with federal courts and state courts operating independently of each other.- Legal precedents: Like the English legal system, the American legal system relies heavily on legal precedents. This means that decisions made by higher courts serve as binding authority for lower courts, creating a system of stare decisis.- Role of juries: One unique feature of the American legal system is the extensive use of juries in both criminal and civil cases. Juries are responsible for determining the facts of a case and reaching a verdict based on the evidence presented to them.- Legal education and professions: In the United States, the legal profession is highly regulated and requires a formal education in law, usually culminating in a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree. Law schools across the country offer a rigorous curriculum to prepare students for the bar examination and future practice as attorneys.French Law:- Civil law system: The French legal system is based on the civil law tradition, which is characterized by a more codified and comprehensive body of laws. This system relies on theapplication of enacted laws and legal codes, as opposed to the reliance on judicial precedent seen in common law systems.- Role of judges: In the French legal system, judges play a significant role in applying the law to specific cases. They are responsible for interpreting and enforcing the law, and they often have more discretion in making decisions than judges in common law systems.- Legal codes: French law is heavily reliant on written legal codes, with the most famous being the Napoleonic Code, which was enacted in 1804 and serves as the foundation of many civil law systems around the world.- Legal professions: The legal profession in France is divided into two main categories: avocats and magistrats. Avocats are legal professionals who provide legal representation and advice to clients, while magistrats are judges who preside over court proceedings and make decisions in accordance with the law.Comparative Analysis:- Legal principles and values: Despite the differences in their legal systems, all three countries share certain fundamental legal principles and values, such as the rule of law, protection of individual rights, and the separation of powers.- Role of the judiciary: In all three countries, the judiciary plays a crucial role in interpreting and applying the law to specific cases. However, the degree of judicial discretion and the reliance on legal precedents vary between the common law and civil law systems.- Legal education and training: While all three countries require a formal education in law for individuals to practice as attorneys, there are differences in the structure and content of legal education programs. For example, the emphasis on case law in common law countries and codified law in civil law countries.- Legal professions and courts: The organization and structure of legal professions and courts also differ between English, American, and French legal systems. These differences reflect the historical, cultural, and political contexts in which these legal systems have developed.Conclusion:In conclusion, the legal systems of England, America, and France each have distinct features and characteristics that reflect their unique historical, cultural, and political contexts. While there are common principles and values that underpin all three legal systems, there are also significant differences in their sources of law, court structures, legal professions, and approaches to legal education. Understanding these differences is essential for lawyers, judges, and legal scholars to navigate the complexities of the global legal landscape and promote cross-cultural understanding and cooperation.。

英美法概论(最新版本)
英美法概论第一章普通法本章将介绍英美法的重要法源——普通法,包括普通法的基本含义、形成的原因以及学术观点。
重点是普通法形成原因之分析。
第一节普通法的含义一、普通法的含义(一)关于对common law的翻译“习惯法”抑或“普通法”?(二)普通法的含义1.原始含义:是指在13世纪爱德华一世时期形成的与地方习惯法相对称,在王室法院适用的通行于全英国的“习惯法”。
来源于教会法的jus commune,lex communis2.普通法的现代含义(1)与衡平法相对称即指原始含义上的普通法。
指从13世纪形成的在全英国普遍适用的共同的习惯法。
即由英国早期王室法院适用的通行于全国的习惯法。
(2)与制定法相对称,普通法就是判例法。
(3)与其他国家的法律相对称,普通法就是指英国法。
(4)与大陆法相对称,指与大陆法相对立的整个英美法。
包括普通法、衡平法、制定法。
二、与普通法相关的几个概念(一)判例法(case law)既指一种法律方法,也指一种法律.从法律方法角度讲,判例法是“是根据法院和法庭以往对特定案件所作司法决定而对其中设定的法律原则和规则进行概括的普遍术语。
从法渊角度讲,判例法是汇编判例的集合或者是作为证据的特定主题的法律,或者是由已决案件形成的法律,区别于制定法和其他法律渊源。
(二)案件(case)《布莱克法律字典》对“case”有不同含义广义理解上既包括已决案件,也包括未决案件。
狭义理解上,“案件”较为合适。
(三)先例(precedent)先例是“法院做出的决定或已决案件。
为后来出现的类似或相近案件提供了范例或者效力。
法院在先前案件中确立的原则基础上审理案件,在事实或法律原则上与待决案件相似的先前案件即为先例(四)遵循先例(stare decisis)遵循先例是适用判例法的原理或者规则。
第二节普通法的形成一、普通法形成的学术观点(一)国内关于普通法形成的主流学说普通法的形成与英格兰国王政府在司法领域的中央集权化的尝试分不开,1066年“诺曼征服”以后,原有的各地分散的习惯法给统一的全国管理带来了很大的不便和困难。

一,Remedies precede rights (程序先于救济):所谓“程序先于权利”,即一项权利能否得到保护,首先要看当事人所选择的程序是否正确,如果程序出现错误,其权利就得不到保护。
即使该权利有实体法上的根据,也无法获得救济。
二,stare decisis (遵循先例)遵循先例原则是判例法的一个基本原则,它是判例法得以形成的基础。
遵循先例原则的基本含义就是,包含在以前判决中的法律原则对以后同类案件有约束力,具体说就是高级法院的判决对下级法院处理同类案件有约束力,同一法院的判决对其以后的同类案件的判决具有约束力。
即指以前判决中的法律原则对以后同类案件具有约束力。

在总统和国会之间,总统有权否决国会的立法,但是国会两院又能以三分之二多数否定总统的否决。
总统有权提名联邦法官和部长候选人以及缔结条约,但是都必须经过参议院的批准。
国会可以通过弹劾将总统或法官免职,但必须达到三分之二多数。
众议院独操弹劾权,参议院独操审判弹劾案之权。
若总统受审,必须由最高法院首席法官主持审判。
弹劾的结果只是免职,但被定罪的人,仍可依法受起诉、审判、判决和惩罚。
除弹劾案外,总统有权对危害合众国的犯罪行为发布缓刑令和赦免令。
总统任命最高法院法官,但法官上任后只要忠于职守,便可终身任职,这就保证他们不再受到任何权力或私利的牵制,以便作出公正的判决。
最高法院有权对包括宪法在内的一切法律作解释,从而导致了司法复审权的确立。
法院有权宣布国会通过、总统签署的法律为违宪而非法,总统和国会都必须服从法院的判决。
但是最高法院无权否定宪法修正案,国会若要否定最法院对于某项法律的违宪判决,可以通过宪法修正案,这样便与法院无关。
同时,国会有权对玩忽职守或犯罪的法官提出弹劾。

通俗的说,辩诉交易就是在检察官与被告人之间进行的一种“认罪讨价还价”行为。
通过这样一种制度,检察官、法官可以用最少的司法资源处理更多的刑事案件提高办案效率同时罪犯也得到了较之原罪行减轻了一定程度的刑事制裁,从而对双方都有利,形成一种双赢的局面。
