Importance of comparative law

Comparative law is a very important discipline in communication between legal systems. It may provide the basis for the production of bilingual dictionaries that include the information necessary to make legal communication across borders successful. It also helps mutual understanding and the dispelling of prejudice and misinterpretation. In this globalised world, comparative law is important for it provides a platform for intellectual exchange in terms of law and it cultivates a culture of understanding in a diverse world. Furthermore, comparative law helps in broadening horizons for law reformers and legislators around the world. It can also be helpful in international relations in shaping foreign policies.

It appears today the principal purposes of comparative law are-

1. To attain a deeper knowledge of the legal systems in effect.
2. To perfect the legal systems in effect.
3. Possibly to contribute to a unification of legal systems.

In fact, comparative law is a misleading term. Because the word law is confusing and convenient and not to set any rule of action. A comparative law is not a law because-

1. Comparative law is not a body of rules and principle.
2. Comparative law is a method of looking problems rather then solutions.
3. Comparative law does not recognized any right, liability and remedy for citizen.
4. Comparative law does not govern the relation of human beings and not to enforceable by the state.
5. It gives the idea of process of studying foreign laws in comparison with local laws.
