Venezuelan law is based on a civil law system, primarily influenced by the Spanish legal tradition. The legal framework includes the Constitution of Venezuela, which outlines fundamental rights and the structure of government, as well as various codes and laws that govern civil, criminal, and commercial matters. The judiciary in Venezuela is composed of several courts, including the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, which is the highest court. Legal proceedings are conducted in Spanish, and the legal profession is regulated by the Venezuelan Bar Association. Despite challenges, such as political instability, the legal system aims to uphold justice and protect citizens' rights.
