Canadian legal system

The Canadian legal system is based on English common law, except in Quebec, which follows civil law. It operates under a constitutional framework, meaning laws must align with the Constitution. The system has multiple levels: federal and provincial courts handling different legal matters. The Supreme Court of Canada is the highest court, making final decisions on legal disputes. Laws are created by elected representatives in Parliament and provincial legislatures. Key principles include the rule of law, rights protection, and access to justice, ensuring fairness and equality in legal proceedings for all citizens.
