Hints American English
The American legal system, like the English, is methodologically mainly a case law system. Most fields of private law still consist primarily of case law and the extensive and steadily growing statutory law continues to be subject to binding interpretation through case law. Knowledge of the case law method as well as of the technique of working with case law therefore is of central importance for an understanding of American law and legal methodology.
美国法律体系,像英国一样,从方法论上讲主要是判例法体系.私法的大多数领域主要包括判例法，以及广泛的不断增加的成文法。这些成文法继续通过判例法受制于有约束力的法律解释。对美国法律和法学方法论的理解，判例法知识和从事判例法工作的技巧是同等重要。
