The spread of common law in the world is due both to the once widespread influence of Britain in the world and the growth of its former colony, the United States. Although judges in one common law country cannot directly support their decisions by cases from another, it is permissible for a judge to note such evidence in giving an explanation. Nevertheless, political divergence has produced legal divergence from England. Unified federal law is only a small part of American law. Most of it is produced by individual states and reflects various traditions. The state of Louisiana, for example, has a Roman civil form of law which derives from its days as a French colony. California has a case law tradition, but its laws are codified as extensively as many Continental systems. Quebec is an island of French law in the Canadian sea of case law. In India, English common law has been codified and adopted alongside a Hindu tradition of law. Sri Lanka has inherited a criminal code from the Russian law introduced by the Dutch, and an uncodified civil law introduced by the British.

S: I'm going to make a report on one of the English-Speaking countries.
T: What country would you like to choose for reporting?
S: Well, last year I travelled around Scotland. This is one of the countries of the UK. I was the lucke winner in "Great Britan quiz" competition. I recieved a special super prize - a mistery flight to Bonnie Scotland for a week's tour around the country. That was marvellous!
T: Now I understand why you want to speak about this wonderful land.
S: I have bought some books about this lovely country and taken a lot of pictures of places of interest.
T: Certainly you can use them in your report. Maybe, you have known something interesting in your trip? I think, you should write about it.
S: I've learned some traditions and customs of the Scottish people and even know some anecdotes.
T: That sounds good! They will make your report more exiting.
S: Thank you for these suggestions! But how long must my reporting last?
T: About half an hour. And later you have to be ready to answer the pupils' questions. I think your report about Bonnie Scotland will be interesting for them.

<span>S: I hope so, sir! </span>
