For questions specific to the United Kingdom. Note that the UK does not have a common legal system across its jurisdictions - consider using [scotland] or [england-and-wales] or [northern-ireland].
The legal system of the United Kingdom consists of three quite distinct and separate legal jurisdictions:
- English law, in england-and-wales, which is based in common law
- northern-ireland law
- Scottish ("Scots") law in scotland, which has civil-legal-system bases along with common law elements
