OLD AND NEW LEGAL TYPOLOGIES
OLD AND NEW LEGAL TYPOLOGIES

Summary/Abstract: The existence of legal constants does not preclude the process of legal change, of its permanent evolution. Thus, the legal doctrine emphasizes that there is no legislation valid for all times, the legal progress mentioned by Turgot being ubiquitous. Multiple forces drive to diversification or to approach the national legal systems. Analysing the history of law, we distinguish the existence of overlapping legal systems, fact that raises the question of legal typologies. Different criteria and different names have been proposed by the legal comparatists. In the present study, we shall address some of the most important and famous criteria, with emphasis on a new legal typology that has arisen - the European Union law. The present study is part of a more complex research on this theme and it is meant to approach certain important points of my Ph.D. thesis.
