The Nigerian Legal System is based on a combination of English common law, statutory law, and customary law. It operates under a federal structure, meaning that both the federal and state governments have their own legal systems. The highest court is the Supreme Court of Nigeria, which interprets the constitution and resolves legal disputes. In addition to the formal court system, traditional courts exist to handle matters based on local customs and practices. The legal framework is designed to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law, while also accommodating the diverse cultural practices found across the country.
