Tanzanian Law
Tanzanian law is based on a combination of statutory law, customary law, and common law. The legal system is influenced by the Constitution of Tanzania, which was adopted in 1977 and has undergone several amendments. The judiciary is independent, with the High Court and the Court of Appeal serving as the highest courts in the country.
Customary law plays a significant role, especially in matters related to family and land. Various ethnic groups in Tanzania have their own customs, which are recognized by the legal system as long as they do not conflict with statutory law. This blend of laws aims to reflect the diverse culture of the nation.
