As well as the founding, raison d'etre and evolutionary tendencies of their mixed law components, Palmer also discusses the cultural divisions of the jurists and the internal contradictions between Anglo-American judicial institutions, methodologies and procedures, and the substantive civil law. He concludes that these jurisdictions form a closely related "Third Legal Family" with cohesive traits and tendencies. 1. Civil Law Systems 2. Common Law 3.
