Because the Colonists originally used British common law as their legal precedent, much of our oldest legal doctrines and precedents in the United States come from Britain. Britain also shaped the U.S. legal system in a more foundational way, however, by introducing to us the common law system and the idea of incremental judge-made law.
More recently, several treaties and international agreements continue to shape the U.S legal system. For example, the United States became a party to the Berne Convention in 1988 (which is an international copyright law agreement shared by 164 countries). In doing so, the United States did away with some copyright "formalities" and procedures which had long been a part of United States copyright law in order to conform to the agreed law of the several nations (influenced greatly by French copyright theories). These were admittedly small concessions, but this is only one example of how other countries can affect the U.S. legal system today, beyond Britain's profound foundational contribution.
