Abstract

Comparative law is an alternative way to harmonize the interaction
between different legal systems. The future of comparative law can be
determined by its ability to function as a connecting method between
those legal systems. This research focuses on the interaction between
three major world legal systems; civil law, Islamic law and common
law. It critically provides illustrations on the influence of these three
major systems on each other. The research, however, briefly discusses
different methods used by the comparative law to interconnect between
those major systems, which are: legal transplant, harmonization of law,
convergence and unification of law. Lastly, the research finds that the
interaction among the major world legal systemss is best understood
through the concept of globalization which functions as a reality, a
theory, and an ideology.

Keywords: Comparative law, major world legal systems, interaction, legal transplant, harmonization, convergence, unification and globalization.
