Legal system in the United Kingdom

The legal system in the United Kingdom consists of several key components: statutes (laws made by Parliament), common law (laws developed through court decisions), and European Union law (while the UK has left the EU, past laws still apply). The judiciary is independent and includes various courts, such as magistrates’ courts for minor cases and the Supreme Court for major issues. The legal system encourages fair trials and justice, with roles for judges, juries, lawyers, and legal aid to support those in need. Each part works together to uphold the rule of law and protect individual rights.
