Fads and fashions in legal history are often very difficult to predict. Legal history in America, for example, is now heavily weighted to the study of American law and American institutions. The assumed dominance of English common law in the American Courts, which was very much a nineteenth century fixture, waned somewhat between 1900 and the end of World War II. During the past 50 years, the decline has been still sharper. With the notable exception of the criminal law, English law has been much less in evidence on the civil law side of American law
