What is the South African legal system like?

South Africa uses the "coastal law" system, which is a mixed legal system. This system is a combination of Roman law, English law and native legal tradition. The South African Constitution establishes the country's basic legal framework and oversees the constitutionality of laws. The Constitutional Court decides cases regarding constitutional violations and approves constitutional amendments. South Africa's legislative body is the Parliament, which consists of two houses. The Parliament and the National Assembly make laws and oversee other institutions in the country. The judicial system consists of lower courts, regional courts, high courts and the Constitutional Court. Courts have jurisdiction over different matters such as criminal cases, civil cases, employment cases and constitutional cases. In South Africa, because the English legal system is influential, judges and lawyers receive English legal training and use English legal terminology. However, the indigenous legal tradition still maintains its influence in some areas. The South African legal system is based on democratic principles and respects human rights. There are also specific laws and institutions aimed at redressing legal and social inequalities dating back to the apartheid era.
