Hints American English
The American legal system, like the English, is methodologically mainly a case law system. Most fields of private law still consist primarily of case law and the extensive and steadily growing statutory law continues to be subject to binding interpretation through case law. Knowledge of the case law method as well as of the technique of working with case law therefore is of central importance for an understanding of American law and legal methodology.
美國法律體系,像英國一樣,從方法論上講主要是判例法體系.私法的大多數(shù)領(lǐng)域主要包括判例法，以及廣泛的不斷增加的成文法。這些成文法繼續(xù)通過判例法受制于有約束力的法律解釋。對美國法律和法學(xué)方法論的理解，判例法知識和從事判例法工作的技巧是同等重要。
