The Danish legal system is based on civil law principles, primarily influenced by Roman law. It consists of various sources of law, including statutes, case law, and legal commentary. The system is characterized by a strong emphasis on written laws and regulations, which are enacted by the Danish Parliament. Judicial authority in Denmark is vested in an independent court system, which includes district courts, high courts, and the Supreme Court of Denmark. The courts interpret and apply the law, ensuring justice is served. Legal professionals, such as judges and lawyers, play a crucial role in upholding the rule of law within this framework.
