Law of Albania

Albania has a civil law system with influences from both the Napoleonic Code and the German Civil Code, by way of the Swiss Civil Code. The national Constitution, adopted by referendum in 1998, is the state's supreme law. Other laws are passed by the unicameral parliament, Kuvendi, and implemented by the Albanian government.

The Judiciary of Albania is organized by the Constitution and the subsequent laws passed by the Parliament, composed of the district and appeals courts for each judicial district, as well as several courts with national jurisdiction, including the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court. Extraordinary courts are explicitly forbidden in the Constitution.
