The law of North America is diverse and influential across the continent's countries and territories. The law of the United States has achieved worldwide renown through its codified constitution and bill of rights, while the law of Cuba differs sharply from it, including in how it regulates private property. The region's legal history includes an early formal court system: the first court of justice in North America was established in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, in 1615, when Sir Richard Whitbourne set up a court of admiralty at the future site of Trinity, Newfoundland and Labrador.
