The Urcean legal system is a primarily common law system with a mixed underlying basis. Without a written [[Constitution of Urcea|Constitution]], many historical edicts and Royal proclamations make up the foundation of Urcean law, which is further iterated by precedent setting interpretation from the [[Criminal justice system of Urcea|Urcean court system]]. Efforts were made in the 19th century to create a concise legal code based off of precedent and many centuries of government acts, both legislative and Royal. The result of this effort was the ''[[Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State]]'' which resolved many hundreds of contradictory laws, edicts, judgments, and acts. Since the creation of the ''Consolidated Laws'', most acts of the [[Concilium Daoni]] have directly amended them, forming the statutory basis for the Urcean legal system.
