Puerto Rico Legal Code

The Puerto Rico Legal Code is a collection of laws and regulations that govern the island. It includes civil, criminal, and commercial laws, outlining the rights and responsibilities of individuals and businesses. This legal framework addresses everything from property disputes and contracts to criminal offenses and family law. While similar to U.S. law, Puerto Rican law has its own unique elements due to its history and status as a U.S. territory. The code serves as a guide for legal proceedings and helps ensure justice and order in society.
