Index of countries[edit | edit source]

Cases decided by the courts of one country may be of persuasive authority in other countries. The common law of one country may be incorporated into the law of another state by statute. Roman law may be of persuasive authority in common law countries. Accordingly, books ostensibly about the law of one country may contain information applicable to other countries.
