Abstract

Beside being the first common law trained lawyer to explore our legal system, John Henry Merryman made one of the earliest move toward the successful development of a ‘Western legal culture’ discourse in comparative literature. He was indeed very influential in shaping the way the similarities between the experiences of civil law and common law are described and understood. The paper is an attempt to assess the scale of his contribution to the field of comparative law.
