Hints New York
As the common law, equity law became part of American law either through judicial acceptance or through express statutory provision. Today, both legal systems have been merged in many American jurisdictions (beginning with New York in 1848), with the result that there is only one form of civil suit in these jurisdictions as well as in federal practice.
通過司法接受和明確的成文法條款，普通法、衡平法成為美國法律的一部分。今天，當普通法和衡平法在很多美國司法管轄區(qū)域已經(jīng)合并（從1848年紐約開始）。結果是在美國司法管轄區(qū)域和聯(lián)邦實踐中只有一套民事訴訟形式，只有極少州繼續(xù)保留大法官法庭。
