A reception statute is a statutory law adopted as a former British colony becomes independent by which the new nation adopts, or receives, the English common law before its independence to the extent not explicitly rejected by the legislative body or constitution of the new nation. Reception statutes generally consider the English common law dating prior to independence, as well as the precedents originating from it, as the default law because of the importance of using an extensive and predictable body of law to govern the conduct of citizens and businesses in a new state.

| - Une loi de réception est une loi adoptée par les anciennes colonies britanniques devenues indépendantes, par laquelle une nouvelle nation adopte (i.e. reçoit), avant son indépendance, le droit anglais, dans la mesure où il n’est pas rejeté par la législature ou la de la nouvelle nation. Les lois de réceptions incorpore généralement la common law anglaise en vigueur avant l'indépendance, et la jurisprudence qui en est issue, comme droit par défaut, car cela permet d'utiliser un important apport légal afin de gouverner la conduite des citoyens et des affaires dans le nouvel État.

All US states have either implemented reception statutes or adopted the common law by judicial opinion, but there is a special case of partial reception for Louisiana. (en)
