Scandinavian legal tradition

The Scandinavian legal tradition, shared by countries like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, emphasizes transparency, fairness, and social consensus. It often features written laws, a strong rule of law, and a focus on individual rights. Judges interpret statutes actively, and legal procedures are designed to ensure equal treatment. This tradition balances tradition with modernization, promoting social trust and consensus-driven lawmaking to reflect societal values while maintaining clear legal standards.
