Nation | Legal system | Details |
---|---|---|
Allamunnic States | Civil Law | The Federation operates on a system of primarily civil law, wherein most laws are codified. Unusually, the federal government operates on a constitution that is largely unwritten, and as such, in cases regarding the powers and functions of government, judicial precedent is still important, and judges have latitude to apply precedents and personal judgment in making rulings in cases where the law is unclear or absent. |
Benaajab | Bijuridical | There are parallel religious courts in addition to the civil law courts. |
Deseret | Civil law | Deseret's judiciary is primarily based on a system of civil law. Because of the highly secular nature of the courts, religious law of the Mormon Church is usually interwoven into secular law such that the distinction between the two, in the courts, is blurred. |
Eagleland | Civil Law | The Eagleland has a Civil Law system, wherein laws are mostly codified and statutory. Judges are required to not only uphold the Eaglelander Constitution, but also enforce typical laws (passed by the Parliament and Senate) and non-typical laws (Ministerial Decisions) that are constitutional. Only in the absence thereof or where a legal gap is present can a judge pass rulings or apply past rulings, and in the absence of the latter legal experts may be called in to offer their views and explanations. Notable is also the absence of juries in most courts. |
Ghant | Common law | Ghant has a common law system in which laws are derived from precedent; judges interpret and enforce it. Historically, the Common Law was based on the Old Laws. |
Latium | Civil law | While the Latin government operates under a largely uncodified constitution, Latium's legal system is a heavily codified civil law system with the Codes of Law serving as the compilation and codification of the general and permanent statutes. Due to the civil law system, magistrates and judges general do not rule on constitutionality of Imperial Edicts, executive orders, or Senate legislation (unless legislation is determined to be "deemed beyond the Senate's functions or ability to pass"), and a lack of jury trial for nearly all non-criminal cases. |
Sydalon | Civil law | Sydalon's legal system is primarily based on Latin law and in some instances canon law. |
