Background
There are various legal systems which are practised around the world such as Common Law, European Civil Law, Islamic Law and others. All these legal systems present their own uniqueness in terms of how they were derived from the sources of law, hierarchy of authoritativeness, legal rules and practices, regulatory regimes and the administration of justice, human rights, dispute resolution methods and reasoning issued by their eminent scholars.

Although nowadays trend in preserving international peace and building international trade relation is done via international treaties which bind the contracting parties, there is no doubt that interaction happens among the legal systems either directly or indirectly. The effort of promoting understanding among the legal systems is essential to avoid prejudice and misconceptions. Such effort will also promote respect among the legal systems.
