English legal system
The English legal system is a set of rules and institutions that govern how laws are made, interpreted, and enforced. It is based on statutes (laws passed by Parliament), common law (judicial decisions and precedents), and legal principles. Courts resolve disputes by applying these laws, with judges ensuring fair interpretation and adherence. Legal professionals, including solicitors and barristers, serve clients and represent them in court. The system also includes aspects like criminal law, civil law, and constitutional matters, all working together to maintain justice, order, and protect rights within the country.
