The legal system of New Ardmore is based heavily on {{wp|Brehon law}} principles and traditions, especially in matters of civil law or equity, and Brehon law was the main mechanism for social regulation and dispute resolution in Ardmore for most of its history, supplemented by canon law with the coming of Christianity. As statelike institutions began to replace clan-based governance, Ardmorean law took cues from Urcean jurisprudence while retaining most of its traditional character, and since integration with Kiravia it has been influenced by Cosco-Kiravian law.
The legal system of New Ardmore is based on [[List of national legal systems around the world|common law]], with some residual influence from the Gaelic customary {{wp|Brehon law}} in certain fields.


New Ardmore adopted a moratorium on capital punishment in 21196. Traditionally, most executions were carried out by firing squad on a sandspit called Deadman's Point, located three kilometers from Ardagh.
{{wp|Capital punishment}} was abolished on the state level in 1998 under an Aontú administration.
