Albanian law is based on a civil law system, primarily influenced by the Roman law tradition. The legal framework includes the Constitution of Albania, which was adopted in 1998, and various codes that govern civil, criminal, and administrative matters. The judiciary is independent, with the Supreme Court serving as the highest court in the country. The legal system also incorporates international treaties and agreements that Albania has ratified. Key institutions, such as the Parliament and the Council of Ministers, play significant roles in law-making and governance. Legal reforms continue to evolve, aiming to enhance the rule of law and protect human rights.
