Globalization and international tribunals are narrowing common-law and civil-law differences
Evidence
Yet it is easy to exaggerate the differences between these legal systems. International legal tribunals, such as the European Court of Human Rights, have no difficulty recruiting their judges from both common-law and civil-law systems and drawing upon the legal principles and practices of both. Globalization has also encouraged legal relationships spanning civil-law and common-law systems. Over time, the differences between the two systems will continue to diminish. — G.
