L'adjectif anglais «legal» se rattache à la fois à «law» dans toutes les acceptions de ce terme et à «common law» qui se distingue particulièrement de «equity». Dans ce dernier cas «legal» est synonyme de l'adjectif «common-law» et s'oppose à «equitable». En français, le terme «common law» ne prend pas de trait d'union, ne s'écrit ni en italique ni entre guillemets. La graphie et le genre (féminin) sont normalisés. 2, record 3, French, - en%20common%20law
