摘要
众所周知,美国属于判例法国家,但是多数国内学者对于判例法的认识,往往停留在较为粗浅的层面。本文主要从判例法的含义、类型、表现形式,判例法的基本原则、法律方法、法律地位,以及判例法与制定法的关系入手,对美国判例法的运作机制进行较为深入的探讨。
To most Chinese domestic scholars, the knowledge of case law is still retained at the rough and general level. The situation is even more serious as to the case law of the U.S. This paper mainly discusses the concept, types, legal forms, fundamental principles, methods, retrospectives, legal status of case law in the U.S. and its relation with the enacted law.
