What is the St. Helena Legal system like?

Legal system refers to the order in which the law of a country or region is established and applied. The legal system is a structure that has purposes such as ensuring order in society, protecting rights and freedoms, ensuring justice, and resolving conflicts. The legal system generally consists of three main components: legislative, executive and judicial. The legislative body, that is, the parliament or assembly, is where law is created and changed. The executive branch, government or administration, is the place where law is applied and enforced. The judicial branch consists of courts that detect violations of the law, resolve conflicts and ensure justice. The legal system may be based on written or unwritten sources of law. Written sources of law are documents such as constitutions, laws, statutes and regulations. Unwritten sources of law are legal habits such as traditions, customs and precedents. The legal system also includes branches of law. Different branches of law such as civil law, criminal law, administrative law and constitutional law regulate different issues and relationships. The legal system of each country is different and may differ within itself. Legal systems are shaped depending on the culture, history, political structure and other factors of countries. Legal systems can evolve to respond to society's needs and values.
