Common Law
Roman lawThe Common Law is historically the common general law -- with supremacy over local law--which was decreed by the itinerant judges of the English royal court. The enforcement of a claim presupposed the existence of a special form of action, a writ, with the result that the original common law represented a system of "actions" similar to that of classical Roman law.普通法在历史上是普通综合法，由英国皇家法院的巡回法官作出的，地位高于地方法。某项诉讼请求的强制执行是以法院令状这以特殊诉讼形式存在为前提的，而这就是最初普通法表现的“诉讼行为”构成的体系，类似于古罗马法。
