Civil Law in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia

Legal systems of states in Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia that follow the civil law model, mostly through codification in the Soviet period or after independence, with statutes and codes as the main source of law. A legal system belongs here when its cited article describes the law of such a country as a civil law system. It excludes countries of Western Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, which sit in their own groups, and systems whose article describes them as mixed or customary.
