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 Luson region, for guidance on how to approach certain legal matters.

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

It includes, in particular: Civil law (Derecho Civil]). This branch refers to the field of private law in common law systems. 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). Public law defines the structure and the workings of the government as well as relationships between the state and the individual. It includes, in particular: Criminal law (Derecho Penal); Administrative law (Derecho Administrativo) and Constitutional law (Derecho Constituciona])

|The Dominion's legal system is based upon the cumulative teachings of the Incarnates, the prophets of the Loa. All punishments are judged based on the Loa people's moral system of Divine Harmony that the teachings promote with sentences varying from reeducation to execution based how much a crime disrupts Harmony.
|Loa Republic's legal system is based on the ''mahusakapu'', a theory of law derived from Islamic Sharia and developed by the High Fane. Crimes are compared against the various ''Anaheunna'', the teachings of the Incarnates, then by the Loa Holy Books of Ecdysis. Finally, the consensus of a jury of holy men is used in the event that a crime cannot be judged by any holy text, whose ruling serves as the standard of all future judgement.

Because of this the Union of Justice has spent a lot of its existence attempting solve all of these contradictions, but after 70 years they are still far from done.
