Summary/Abstract: The Anglo-Saxon law system is one of the most widely known and widespread law systems in the world, together with the Romanian-German law system. Although the emergence and evolution of this system of law has been concomitant with the immediate proximity of the European law system, the two systems have totally different ways of approaching what is meant by understanding and administering justice. The Anglo-Saxon system of law is primarily a dualist system, having a single dichotomy, namely that between common law and equity, as opposed to Roman-Germanic law, which has several divisions on branches of law according to logical and rational schemes. , the most important and known of these being that between private and public law. This paper intends to make an inroad into the history of the Anglo-Saxon law system, as this system can only be explained and analyzed from a historical perspective, the Anglo-Saxon law being stubbornly related to its history.
