Anglo-American Law

Anglo-American Law is an academic work by Prof. Dr. Hacı Kara examining the historical development, fundamental principles, legal sources, and institutional structures of the Anglo-American legal tradition, with a particular focus on English and American law.

The book explores the origins and evolution of the Anglo-Saxon legal system, including the development of English courts and the principal sources of law: Common Law, Equity Law, Statute Law, delegated legislation, and Merchant Law.
