Welsh Legal System

Today I learnt what’s unique about Welsh Law.

A new article has been added to Globalex called Researching Welsh Law: What is unique in Wales. The article provides a brief overview of the development of the Welsh Legal System and provides details on where you can access sources of Welsh law. It’s written by Lillian Stevenson & Dr. Catrin Huws from Aberystwyth University:

I also learnt that there was a consultation earlier this year to seek views on whether Wales should become a separate legal jurisdiction. Although this has huge implications on the jurisdiction of England and Wales, I’m ashamed to say this passed me completely. You can read the consultation and summary of responses on the Welsh Government’s website.
