Abstract: The contemporary world is divided into major systems of legal civilization and culture, distinguished primarily by the historical type of law to which they belong. The formation of these major systems is explained by the convergence of legal systems across various countries resulting from social transformations; the history of law reveals significant legal shifts throughout the ages. An overview of the major systems in the contemporary world entails examining the legal frameworks currently applied in various states. Codes, statutes, decrees, and regulations of all kinds—along with their practical application, governing principles, and prevailing perspectives—collectively shape the national legal system. A careful analysis of these structures shows that national legal systems fall into broader categories defined by a shared set of principles. Keywords: civilization, legal culture, legal family, Romano-Germanic law, Anglo-Saxon law, religious legal systems.
