legal memory 〈英〉法律追溯日；法律追忆期 在英格兰法中指理查一世〔Richard Ⅰ〕登基之日，即1189年9月3日，一说为1189年7月6日，因为依据1275年的《威斯敏斯特法Ⅰ》〔Statute of Westminster Ⅰ〕，1189年为依权利令状主张地产权利的限期。在普通法上，时效取得是建立在一种推定的授权之上的，即法律假定事实上的和平占有持续一定时间即赋予当事人合法的权利，如同经过正式授权一般。依时效而成就的地役权须证明以某一时刻——通常是法律追溯日起，该地役权就为当事人所享有，而在从法律追溯日到现在这一段时间内无否定当事人享有该地役权的相反证据，则该地役权推定为由该当事人享有。但在实践中，如果有证人证明在其记忆中当事人已享有某种权利，同时亦无相反证据证明这种享有始自1189年乃不可能，则法庭是很乐意将这种权利的享有推定为始于1189年的。
legal memory.

time of legal memory 法律可以追溯的年代 原指有历史记录可考的年代。也指提起不动产之诉的追溯时效，根据1275年《第一威斯敏斯特法》的规定，自理查一世时期(即1189年)开始,这一时间便被称为「Legal Memory」。但其后亨利八世时的《时傚法》〔Statute of Limitations〕用此名称并将其压缩为以40年为限，又其后则更降低为20年。现在美国各州关于收回不动产之诉的时效规定，仍称之为time of legal memory, 通常为20年。

antiquity of custom 古惯例 依英国之法律原则，指自1189年理查一世登基——这被认为是法律记忆期〔legal memory〕的开始——时即已存在的惯例为古惯例；在美国，如果其于不可记忆之时间起即已存在，就被视为有古代之要素。古代之要素已不再是惯例生效、具有法律效力的基本条件。现在认为如果某一惯例已存在很久，广为人知且能保证合同或交易顺利签订和完成，即认为该惯例具有拘束力。
