Summary/Abstract: Civil law has always been considered as being the common law, regardless of where its regulations were applied. However, in Romania, civil law was not „common” for a certain amount of time following the Great Unification, as it had specific elements depending on the historical province it belonged to. As a result, the law was multicultural. Nowadays, we have a common civil law which it’s supposed to be national and unified, but still remains multicultural.
