The law of Bahrain is set out in its constitution, and the legal system of the kingdom combines civil law, drawn particularly from Egyptian law which is itself heavily based on French law, with Islamic law. Amiri decrees and other legislative enactments supplement this mixed constitutional and religious framework.
