| Annotation | The author considers that a national legal system may belong to two or more families of legal systems simultaneously. He explores for Ukraine the relevance of the socialist, totalitarian, technocratic, transitional, slavonic, romano-germanic, and mixed classifications of legal systems. Each of these classifications, or analytical prisms, has something useful to contribute to an understanding of the uniqueness and the similarities of Ukrainian law and the Ukrainian system when compared with others. To ask where does Ukraine appear on the legal map of the world, one must first determine: which legal map? |
| Keywords | comparative law, families of legal systems, slavonic law, romano-germanic law, mixed legal systems, transitional legal systems, socialist legal systems. |
