Jersey Law refers to the legal system of the island of Jersey, which is a British Crown Dependency. It is based on a mix of English common law and local statutes. The island has its own courts and legal framework, allowing it to govern itself in many areas, including property, family, and criminal law. The legal system in Jersey is unique, as it operates independently from the United Kingdom. The Royal Court is the highest court on the island, handling serious cases, while the Magistrate's Court deals with less severe matters. This structure ensures that local laws reflect the needs and values of the island's residents.
