|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.

|The Fiannic Law is a bijuridicial system established and developed over centuries. Formerly known as Culfran Law, it is a mixed system established on Adoneric Law (Civil Law) codified and developed upon as part of feudal and customary law throughout Culfran princedoms during the Holy Levantine Empire, along with common law practices and precedents developed by folk courts or local Tyns (or Things) held by individual parishes and shires. Furthermore, law in Fiannria had been developed through Canon Law as well.

|Kiravian law is based primarily upon the law of the Coscivian Empire, including its heritage of the Réstiálda or "Cultivated Law", which can be described as a form of customary law [to be expanded upon]. Many states, particularly those with large Gaelic populations, have incorporated Brehon law into their legal systems. In Kiravian law, individual precedents are not binding on future cases; however, if a particular precedent proves effective at addressing a certain legal question or resolving a certain type of dispute and becomes consistently referenced in later decisions, attorneys can eventually contend that there is binding tōngan or "consensus" on the matter, after which it is conventionally held to have become part of the Cultivated Law of that jurisdiction.<br />Each federal subject, as well as the federal judiciary and the military justice system, forms a separate legal system, each with its own body of cultivated law.

|Pelaxia's legal system can be divided into two main categories: private law and public law .

This branch encompasses the fields of inheritance law, civil law, family law, property law, and contract law; Commercial law (Derecho Comercial); Employment law (Derecho Laboral).

==By country==
===Kiravia===
The Kiravian Federacy has a mixed but mostly unfavourable legal landscape for alternative sexualities and gender identities.
Same-sex sexual activity is either legal or decriminalised in all Kiravian federal subjects. In jurisdictions where it remains formally illegal, most limit the prohibition to public settings only, and it is rare for the remaining civil penalties to be applied. Most states have higher ages of consent for same-sex activity than for opposite-sex activity.
Same-sex marriage is not recognised anywhere in the Kiravian Federacy, and there are no plans to introduce it. A handful of federal subjects - [[Fariva]], the [[Kiygrava]], [[Argévia]], [[Vôtaska]], [[Asperidan]], and the [[District of Coīnvra]], offer gender-neutral civil unions that are functionally equivalent to civil marriages for most (but not all) purposes. A larger number of federal subjects offer gender-neutral domestic partnerships (''atomixardmakūra'') or "household covenants" (''þramsāvirexóvon''), which confer fewer rights than a marriage or civil union.
Anti-discrimination laws concerning alternative sexual and gender identities are few and weak. The modern Occidental concept of sexual orientation is not widely understood in Kiravian society, much less recognised in law. Laws concerning public and subsidised housing are one of the few areas in which ''raśgatestra ɣalamirsk'' ("gender-distribution of affection") is a widespread protected class. Healthcare regulations are another. Some coastal states and cities have clear anti-discrimination clauses regarding government services and public accommodations. Queer Kiravians have sought shelter under other protected categories mentioned in various laws, such as "marital status", "household composition", and "reasonably private dispositions", but these are have not always proven reliable and do not provide comprehensive protection.
The Henebrem and Ayembrem are two obscure Coscivian ethnic groups that have more than two sets of gender roles (the Henebrem three and the Ayembrem five), and the states where they live have afforded some measure of legal protection to the "traditional lifestyle and customary minorities among the Brem tribes". The Wisaya Aboriginal tribe also has a third customary gender role assigned to certain biological males, which is recognised under the laws of the Wisaya Reservation. There is some controversy regarding this, as many reformers believe that Ayembrem ''or̥ot'' and Wisaya ''wodoāgro'' are oppressed in their respective cultures. Beyond this there is no legal recognition of alternative or transitory gender identities.
===Takatta Loa===
Takatta Loa decides its laws via religious precedent, which condone homosexual activity and alternative gender expression, but do not mention marriage or adoption. In addition, persecution of homosexuality is so uncommon in Takatta Loa that there is no precedent for the protection of homosexual rights to freedom of discrimination.
