The Algerian legal system is based on a combination of Islamic law, French civil law, and customary law. It operates under a civil law framework, where laws are codified and judges interpret these codes. The system is structured around various courts, including courts of first instance and appeals courts, which handle civil, criminal, and administrative cases. The Constitution of Algeria serves as the supreme law, outlining the rights of citizens and the organization of the state. The Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority, ensuring the uniform application of laws across the country. Legal professionals, including judges and lawyers, play a crucial role in upholding justice within this framework.
