Abstract (2. Language): 
Nowadays, in the era of globalization, reciprocal influence of Nations in almost every field is highly visible. Thus, national laws respectively legal systems are not immune against this development. Moreover, legal borrowing beyond that legal transplants, i.e. the enactment of foreign laws and codes by some Nations, was observable around the world long before globalization was an emerging issue. Nonetheless, even less dramatical usage of foreign sources, like the interpretation of domestic law by reference to foreign law, seems not to be fully accepted by everyone. Therefore, the reasons for this repudiation shall be assessed with special reference to the United States in contrast to Canada with an allegedly more open attitude towards the use of foreign legal sources. While examining, whether the concerns regarding the usage of foreign sources in national context are legitimate or not, alternative approaches to justify such an usage shall be presented.
