While a system of civil law Geisenroda's legal system also incorporates religious law and socialist legal theory. Geisenrodan law operates under a system of Orthodox integralism, with the faith being the basis for all secular law in the country, laws are required to go through a vetting process by a group of religious officials chosen by the kaiser, they have the power to demand rewrites of sections of laws that they deem to go against the Coscivian Orthodox faith, they also have the authority to prevent the changing of a law, even if said law is deemed unconstitutional, should they find it necessary for maintaining the nations "fundamentally religious character". Socialist legal theory is also written into the nations legal system and constitution, the constitution mandates social spending by the government in areas "necessary for the general wellbeing and security of the people" and rights to private property, especially intellectual property, are explicitly denied. | The legal system of Geisenroda is based on a system of a system of Gothic civil law, with judges not being able to create or alter laws through precedent.
