Haitian Law
Haitian Law is primarily based on the civil law system, influenced by the Napoleonic Code. It encompasses various legal areas, including civil, criminal, and commercial law. The Constitution of Haiti, adopted in 1987, serves as the supreme law, outlining the structure of government and the rights of citizens.
The legal framework is administered by a system of courts, including tribunals and courts of appeal. Legal professionals, such as judges and lawyers, play a crucial role in interpreting and enforcing the law. Despite challenges like political instability, efforts continue to strengthen the rule of law and access to justice in the country.
