Italian legal system

The Italian legal system is a civil law system rooted in the Italian Constitution and influenced by European traditions. Laws are primarily codified, with the Parliament passing statutes that set general rules. The judiciary is independent, with courts at various levels interpreting and applying these laws to individual cases. The Supreme Court ensures consistency and upholds legal standards. Italy also adheres to European Union law, which can influence national legislation. Overall, the system aims to balance legal stability with justice, guided by written laws, judicial decisions, and constitutional principles.
