ABSTRACT
In this paper, the researcher intends to lay down the not-so-tacit nexus between Legal Pluralism and the Rule of Law in Common Law and Civil Law. That is, how Common Law and Civil Law have been conventionally swayed by the tenets of rule of law and the existence of multiple legal systems in a given regime. As John Griffith said, “Legal Pluralism is a fact”.1 Thus, the co-existence of legal and normative orders within a society greatly influences the definition of “law” that common law and civil law traditions are trying to accomplish. The researcher aims to examine how the nations holding either the common law or civil law will interact with the presence of multiple state & non-state laws within a given social arena. And how while interacting so, it will keep up its compliance with the principles of rule of law.
