Australian legal system

The Australian legal system is based on English common law and consists of federal and state laws. It operates under a parliamentary democracy, where laws are created by elected representatives. The judiciary is independent, interpreting and enforcing laws through courts, which include lower and higher courts. There are several levels of courts, such as local, district, and supreme courts, along with specialized courts for specific issues. The High Court of Australia is the highest court, ensuring laws align with the Constitution. Legal rights are protected, and individuals can seek justice through litigation and appeals.
