Legal System

Law of Canada

Mixed and Hybrid Legal Systems

Canada's legal system is pluralist, built on three separate foundations. English common law governs most of the country, French civil law governs Quebec's private law, and the Indigenous legal traditions developed independently by Canada's Indigenous nations continue to operate alongside both.

In Legal Family

Mixed Systems, Legal Systems

Entity-backed identity for the legal family value this legal-system already carries as an enum fact, resolved to a legal-system entity by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.

In Legal System

Mixed Systems, Legal Systems

Family classification carried over from this entity's own recorded SubLabel (Mixed and Hybrid Legal Systems), assigned under the section-legal-systems structure wave (ruling 761) using the CIA World Factbook / JuriGlobe comparative-law family classification (system.Atlas.DataBrief, law). This edge materializes that existing classification as a connective fact; it is not a new independent research finding.
