The Burgoignesc Code of Laws, Temporal Sins, and Their Punishments (Burg: Codex dels Juridiques, Pecats Temporals, et les Chastiments) is the codification of the legal system in Burgundie, which is a civil law legal system primarily based on legal codes and statutes, with case law also playing an important role. The Constitution of Burgundie adopted in 1967 is the supreme law in Burgundie. Levantine Union law is becoming increasingly important in Burgundie, as are laws and resolutions adopted by the League of Nations.
In academic terms, Burgoignesc law can be divided into two main categories: private law (Droit privé) and public law (droit public). This differs from the traditional common law concepts in which the main distinction is between criminal law and civil law.
Private law governs relationships between individuals. Authority to judge private law is devolved to the most local level jurisdiction in which the law applies, namely the courts at the municipal or county government level. It includes, in particular:
- Civil law (droit 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 (droit commercial)
- Employment law (droit du travail)
Public law defines the structure and the workings of the government as well as relationships between the state and the individual. Authority to judge public law rests with the supreme court which in Burgundie is divided into the Lazarine Court and the Maritime Prefecture. It includes, in particular:
- Criminal law (droit pénal)
- Administrative law (droit administratif)
- Constitutional law (droit constitutionnel)

Abortion around the world
Country | Risk to life | Risk to health | Mental health | Rape | Fetal Defects | Socio-economic factors | On request | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Burgundie | Becoming legal in the 1950s as a result of the Burgoignesc Women’s Liberation movement, induced abortion has faded from general discourse because of its wide acceptance and vast popular support. Access is guaranteed by law and is available at most hospitals that provide maternal-fetal medicine. The government of Burgundie does not specify when in the gestation process a fetus becomes a person. The medical community has determined that they will not usually conduct abortions after the conclusion of the second trimester out of consideration of the health of the mother. Due to the flexibility of the law, extreme circumstances may warrant an abortion at any time, even in the third trimester. |

Burgundie | Antiquity | 2034 | In effect | The death penalty in Burgundie has existed since antiquity. The death penalty is reserved for violent crimes known in Burgundie as "crimes of power" such as sexual crimes (especially rape and pedophilia), serial murder, systemic abuse (physical and emotional), and treason. Burgundie is unique among developed nations for also having a legal concept for vigilantism. Called Deuagant (Eng. taken from God), it is a non-sanctioned execution that is defensible in the community in which it occurs. This construct is not formally sanctioned by the Lazarine Court, but if there is not a subsequent outcry cases are not common against the community in which it occurred. While Deuagant is not a proven deterrent to sexual crimes, in particular, Burgundie does have a one of the lowest sexual crimes reporting rates in the Occidental world. |

Since 1853 | ||||||||
Citizenship and thusly sufferage was offered to all residents of Burgundie and its possessions by the 1853 constitution. Citizenship is available to anyone who completes the federal service requirement and is retained by voting in the majority of elections each decade. Non-native residents are eligible for the federal service but the most prestigious way to gain Burgoignesc citizenship for non-natives is to serve in the Burgoignesc Foreign Legion. |
