Legal System

The legal system refers to the framework of rules, institutions, and practices that govern a society, ensuring order and justice. It encompasses the laws enacted by legislative bodies, the judicial rulings by courts, and the enforcement mechanisms carried out by law enforcement agencies. The legal system includes various components such as statutes, regulations, case law, and legal precedents, as well as the processes involved in the interpretation and application of these laws. It aims to uphold the rule of law, protect individual rights, settle disputes, and provide mechanisms for addressing grievances. Legal systems vary significantly across different jurisdictions, influenced by cultural, historical, and political factors. They can be broadly categorized into common law systems, which rely heavily on judicial decisions and precedents, and civil law systems, which are based on comprehensive written codes.
