Bernard Audit, Introduction
The "Americanization of law" is a question of cultural influence rather than a wholehearted reception of American law principles. One can attribute to this influence a greater presence of the law in the public sphere, contractual practice has also been permeated by American influence, due to the flexibility of the common law allowing it to meet the needs of a new economy. The influence of American ways has also been felt in France in the practice of the law, due to the creative energy of American lawyers there. But the basic civil law approach will persist for the foreseeable future, as conveyed by the method of teaching law.
