The law of Jersey has been shaped by several legal traditions, most notably Norman customary law, English common law and modern French civil law. The Bailiwick of Jersey is a jurisdiction separate from the United Kingdom and distinct from the other Channel Islands, and its legal system is described as mixed or pluralistic, drawing on sources of law in both French and English, though English has been the main working language since the 1950s.
