|In Cartadania, the federal courts and 29 of the 31 states practice primarily common law. Two states—Haia and San Andreas—use a civil law system. In more recent times, majority of states, and their courts, have looked to each other for decisions on cases, especially those being decided for the first time. It is becoming more and more common for newer, younger states to look to the bigger and older states, such as those of the Hispania region, for guidance on how to approach certain legal matters. | |In Cartadania, the federal courts and 29 of the 31 states practice primarily common law.

|Fhainnin Law was formally shifted from a Common Law system to a Civil system in 1922, with modern concepts of jurisprudence maintaining that laws should be built on universal moral principles and applied on a case-by-case basis. The High Court alone holds the power to set some precedents, but this requires Council ratification and in practice does not factor into the vast majority of cases. Fhainic criminal law, however, includes some aspects of precedent with what are referred to as 'broad stroke' clauses, in which a jury may permit a judge to hand off a case in which there is no applicable law but clear harm to an individuals rights or person to a specialized upper court. | |Fhainnin Law was formally shifted from a Common Law system to a Civil system in 1922, with modern concepts of jurisprudence maintaining that laws should be built on universal moral principles and applied on a case-by-case basis.
