Found an error, but in case he doesn't fix it, from:

http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Academic/Course_Pages/legal_sy...

He says:

"The biblical rules, which set twelve and a half as the age of female adulthood"

The Bible is very clear that a male or female become adults at age 20.

See Exodus 12, 38; Numbers 11,14; 1 Chronicles 31:17, Ezra 3:8 and there are probably some more scriptures that show it.

From those listed I’d say the Western world’s.

The list doesn’t mention either common law or civil law. As different from each other as those are they’re still mutually intelligible.

Some may find Feliks Koneczny's categorization and analysis[0] of civilizations based on legal system and its relation to ethics, the distinction between private and public law, the distinction between religious and secular law, and so on.

As with most bible passages, earlier texts may or may not line up... The twelve-and-a-half rule is from the Babylonian Talmud: https://books.google.com/books?id=ZU-nBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA53#v=one...

Nope. Is trying - unsuccessfully, apparently - to point out how arrogant and offending the use of "ours" is in a supposedly scholarly work: I am the byproduct of a so-called "western" culture, yet don't recognize the law system under which my country of origin operates are being covered by this "ours" used in the title.
