Chilean Legal System
The Chilean Legal System is based on civil law, primarily influenced by the Spanish legal system. It is structured around a comprehensive set of codes, including the Civil Code, Criminal Code, and Commercial Code, which govern various aspects of law. The system emphasizes written laws and statutes, with judges interpreting these laws in court.
The judiciary is independent, consisting of various levels of courts, including Supreme Court, Appeals Courts, and Trial Courts. Legal professionals, such as judges and lawyers, play crucial roles in upholding the law and ensuring justice. The system also includes administrative courts that handle disputes involving public administration.
