Distinct from traditional textbooks on the history of foreign legal systems, as indicated by the title, this book excludes ancient and medieval Eastern and Western countries such as Babylon, Greece, Rome, and Islam, focusing instead on the emergence, development, and evolution of legal systems in six major Western countries: the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, and Russia. Although the selection of countries is limited, their high representativeness allows the book to reflect the general outline and main patterns of Western legal development. This approach also enriches and deepens the theme and content, not only by elaborating on the departmental laws of each country but also by delving deeper into their judicial systems and legal education systems. It is believed that readers will gain a true understanding of the essence of the history of Western legal development from this book.
