Castilian Law

Castilian Law refers to the legal system originating from the historical Kingdom of Castile, a fundamental part of Spain's legal tradition. It encompasses a set of statutes and customary laws established over centuries, influencing modern Spanish law. Key features include a focus on codified laws, territorial legal norms, and a historical emphasis on royal authority and local governance. Today, elements of Castilian Law have been integrated into the broader Spanish legal framework, shaping statutes, civil and criminal codes, and regional legal practices across Spain.
