Nation Legal system Details
 Albithica Bijuridical/Mixed Albithica's legal system is a mix between Common and Civil law. Codified law takes a higher precedence than previous court decisions in many legal cases on the local level. However, those who are found guilty can appeal their sentence to the respective Grand Court, which makes their decisions to overturn a guilty sentencing primarily based upon prior Grand Court appeals. The Supreme Court operates entirely upon a common law system, creating precedence with their prior decisions and rulings.
 Aziallis Bijuridical/Mixed Aziallis has a mixed legal system, consisting of Common and Civil law, though courts have been increasingly favoring interpretation of codified civil law. The system is structured such that each District has its District Courts and each State has its High Courts with the Supreme Court being the highest appellate authority in the country. Individuals can challenge the decisions of lower courts in higher courts till they are satisfied and this right is enshrined in the Constitution as the Right to Constitutional Remedies. Judges are appointed by an independent non-partisan body called the Supreme Court Collegium and are free from interference from the legislature and the executive. Judges can sometimes provide legislation-like frameworks in important cases which act as temporary fixes till Parliament acts to fill the needed gaps. Courts can be approached by any individuals using a tool called Public Interest Litigation. Courts often also take up suo moto cases.
