Honduran law is based on a civil law system, primarily influenced by the Spanish legal system. The Constitution of Honduras, established in 1982, serves as the supreme law, outlining the structure of government, individual rights, and the legal framework for the country. The legal system includes various codes, such as the Civil Code, Criminal Code, and Commercial Code, which govern different aspects of law. The judiciary is independent, with the Supreme Court being the highest court, ensuring the interpretation and application of laws in Honduras.
