does wales have a legal system? |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:03 AM Author: Reinhard Heydrich Uunona (✅🍑) England & Wales are one system. I have no idea why NI is separate. The Scotland thing is because Scotland had a whole legal architecture up and running and very different to the English legal architecture when England and Scotland united in 1701 (from memory). Wales has always effectively been a part of England or at least for much much longer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5805164&forum_id=2#49477044) |

Before 1921, Northern Ireland was part of the same British legal system as the rest of Ireland. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:09 AM Author: Reinhard Heydrich Uunona (✅🍑) lol yes it appears so but what deals are being done in Belfast with NI as the choice of law? every international deal and contract everywhere is done under the law of England and Wales and under the jurisdiction of E&W courts, so I can't imagine some mega merger involving Belfast would NOT be done under the law of England and Wales (interestingly, I'm admitted in E&W and Ireland as well as in NY) |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:11 AM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., i dunno; if ur doing business in NIR, do you need some rory to handle any NIR aspects, or is it irrelevant?
did u do the E&W bar before they changed it? i recall in ~2008 they made it harder for americans to take it. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:17 AM Author: Reinhard Heydrich Uunona (✅🍑) yes E&W long ago, Ireland more recently, that was just fill out a form and send them 300 Euros (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5805164&forum_id=2#49477094) |

the israeli bar is tough if you dont write hebrew. protectionism against immigrant jews from anglo countries. |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:21 AM Author: Reinhard Heydrich Uunona (✅🍑) lol yes but I very seriously doubt that a common law lawyer has any way of becoming a Portuguese lawyer other than to do a Portuguese law degree and their bar exam or whatever "apprenticeship" system they have there if you ever decide to go live in your ancestral homeland and you want to take a legal qualification with you, the way to do it is to get qualified in Ireland, and that gives you full freedom of movement to work as a lawyer in Portugal (there is automatic full cross-recognition of legal quals inside the EU, i.e. much more automatically mobile than inside the U.S., in theory at least)] that's why I became an Irish lawyer, because it was easy for me on the basis of already being an English lawyer |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:18 AM Author: Reinhard Heydrich Uunona (✅🍑) if you're not litigating, I think you just nominate E&W and London as choice of law and forum and be done with it I have never heard of anybody having to use NI law for anything if they're not buying a house or litigating there |

Date: December 2nd, 2025 11:06 AM Author: Reinhard Heydrich Uunona (✅🍑) Scots law (Scottish Gaelic: Lagh na h-Alba) is the legal system of Scotland. It is a hybrid or mixed legal system containing civil law and common law elements, that traces its roots to a number of different historical sources.[1][2][3] Together with English law and Northern Irish law, it is one of the three legal systems of the United Kingdom.[4] Scots law recognises four sources of law: legislation, legal precedent, specific academic writings, and custom. Legislation affecting Scotland and Scots law is passed by the Scottish Parliament on all areas of devolved responsibility, and the United Kingdom Parliament on reserved matters. Some legislation passed by the pre-1707 Parliament of Scotland is still also valid.
Early Scots law before the 12th century consisted of the different legal traditions of the various cultural groups who inhabited the country at the time, the Gaels in most of the country, with the Britons and Anglo-Saxons in some districts south of the Forth and with the Norse in the islands and north of the River Oykel. The introduction of feudalism from the 12th century and the expansion of the Kingdom of Scotland established the modern roots of Scots law, which was gradually influenced by other, especially Anglo-Norman and continental legal traditions. Although there was some indirect Roman law influence on Scots law, the direct influence of Roman law was slight up until around the 15th century. After this time, Roman law was often adopted in argument in court, in an adapted form, where there was no native Scots rule to settle a dispute; and Roman law was in this way partially received into Scots law. |
