Legal Definitions - comparative nomogenetics

Definition: Comparative nomogenetics is the study of the development of legal ideas and systems around the world. It is a term coined by John Henry Wigmore, along with comparative nomoscopy and comparative nomothetics.

For example, comparative nomogenetics would examine how the legal system in the United States developed from English common law, while the legal system in Japan developed from a combination of Chinese and European legal systems.

This field of study helps us understand how legal systems have evolved and how they differ from one another. By comparing legal systems, we can identify similarities and differences, and learn from each other's experiences.
