Czech law, often referred to as the legal order of the Czech Republic ('), is the system of legal rules in force in the Czech Republic, and in the international community it is a member of. Czech legal system belongs to the Germanic branch of continental legal culture (civil law).〔Bobek, Michal. ("UPDATE: An Introduction to the Czech Legal System and Legal Resources Online. " ) ''GlobaLex''. Hauser Global Law School Program, New York University School of Law, Sept. 2009. Web. 07 Dec. 2012.〕 Major areas of public and private law are divided into branches, among them civil, criminal, administrative, procedural and labour law, and systematically codified. Written law is the basis of the legal order, and the most important source of law are: legal regulations (acts of parliament, as well as delegated legislation), international treaties (once they have been ratified by the parliament and promulgated), and such findings of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, in which a statute or its part has been nullified as unconstitutional. The system of law and justice in the Czech Republic has been in constant development since the 1989 regime change. In 1993, the Constitution of the Czech Republic has been enacted, which postulates the rule of law, outlines the structure and principles of democratic government, and declares human rights and rights of the citizen. Since 2004, the membership in the EU means the priority of European Union law over Czech law in some areas. Recently, a brand new Criminal Code entered into force in 2010, and the Civil Code will follow in 2014. == Sources of law == Sources of Czech law are (in this hierarchical order):〔 * the Constitution (') and constitutional acts (') * international treaties ratified by the Parliament (') * statutes adopted by the Parliament ('), published decisions of the Constitutional Court * derived legislation: government orders〔also translated as government decrees〕 (') and notifications of ministries〔sometimes orders of ministries〕 ('); legislative acts of territorial self-government bodies: regional ordinances〔or byelaws, if you prefer〕 (') and municipal ordinances (') Acts of parliament and other legal regulations enter into force on the day they are promulgated (published) in the official ''Collection of Laws'' (', abbreviated as ' – ''Coll.'' – when referring to statutes),〔Available at http://www.sbcr.cz/〕 although they may take effect at a later date. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Law of the Czech Republic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
