European law, laws and legal traditions that are either shared by or characteristic of the countries of Europe. Broadly speaking, European law can refer to the historical, institutional, and intellectual elements that European legal systems tend to have in common; in this sense it is more or less equivalent to Western law. More commonly and more specifically, however, European law refers to the supranational law, especially of the European Union, that unites most of the national legal systems within Europe.
Europe’s shared legal heritage was nonetheless obscured by the separate development of Continental and English legal traditions (beginning in the 11th century), the rise of sovereign nation-states that claimed exclusive legal jurisdiction within their territory (largely during the 17th century), and legalnationalism (in the 19th century). In the late 20th century, however, economic integration advanced by the European Community led to renewed interest in European law. This occurred alongside the weakening of some of the distinctive traits of the civil-law and common-law traditions in modern bureaucratic states. For example, the pervasive growth of modern regulatory economic legislation and the administrative agencies and tribunals that oversee it diminished both the central reliance on comprehensive codes in civil-law systems and the organic development of case law in common-law systems.
