Anglo-American law system and continental law system were two legal systems. The most typical difference between them was whether A was a written law and B was whether judicial precedents could be cited. The Anglo-American legal system and the continental legal system were two different legal systems with their own unique legal traditions and legal systems. The legal system of a country with a continental law system was based on legal provisions. All laws were written laws that had been enacted through the legal process. In the continental law system, legal provisions were statements that directly reflected legal principles and rights, and the formulation and implementation of laws strictly followed the legal process. On the contrary, the legal system of Anglo-American countries was based on case law. The legal system was not established through the legal process, but through judicial precedents. The formulation and implementation of the law was not strictly followed by the legal process, but reflected by the judge's free evaluation of evidence and reasoning. In the aspect of A, the legal principles and provisions of the continental law system were very clear and easy to understand and abide by. However, the common law system's legal principles and legal provisions were relatively complicated, requiring a high level of legal literacy and understanding. In the legal system of civil law countries, the judge could directly quote judicial precedents to support his judgment according to the legal provisions. In the legal system of common law countries, the judge needed to explain and explain the meaning and applicable conditions of the legal provisions and quote previous precedents to support his judgment. In short, the legal systems of the continental law system and the Anglo-American law system had their own characteristics. When choosing a legal system that suited one, one should consider one's own specific situation and needs.
