|In Cartadania, the federal courts and 29 of the 31 states practice primarily common law. Two states—Haia and San Andreas—use a civil law system. 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. | |In Cartadania, the federal courts and 29 of the 31 states practice primarily common law.

|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. | |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].
