Greek law

Greek law is based on a civil law system rooted in the Roman tradition, with a written constitution establishing fundamental rights and government structure. It encompasses statutes, codes, and jurisprudence that regulate civil, criminal, commercial, and administrative matters. Greek courts interpret and apply these laws to resolve disputes, ensuring justice and order. The legal process emphasizes written laws and judicial decisions, and Greece is also part of the European Union, aligning some laws with EU directives. Overall, Greek law seeks to balance individual rights, societal interests, and adherence to constitutional principles.
