Early Islamic law developed a number of legal concepts that anticipated similar such concepts that later appeared in English common law. Similarities exist between the royal English contract protected by the action of debt and the Islamic "Aqd", between the English assize of novel disseisin and the Islamic "Istihqaq", and between the English jury and the Islamic "Lafif" in classical Maliki jurisprudence. The law schools known as Inns of Court also parallel Madrasahs. The methodology of legal precedent and reasoning by analogy ("Qiyas") are also similar in both the Islamic and common law systems, as are the English trust and agency institutions to the Islamic "Waqf" and "Hawala" institutions, respectively.
