Western law

Western law comprises the laws, jurisprudence, legal traditions, systems, norms and culture associated with Western civilization, rooted primarily in Roman law, Germanic law and canon law. It encompasses a wide range of subordinate traditions, including biblical law, ancient Greek law, Roman law, common law, civil law, feudal law and Byzantine law, many of which developed with additional influence from ancient Near Eastern legal frameworks and maintain a historical connection to Jewish law through their shared biblical heritage.
