Nepal is a federal democratic republic under its 2015 Constitution, the seventh Nepali constitution since 1948, following a progression from monarchy through several earlier constitutional experiments. Its judiciary sits in three tiers, the Supreme Court, High Courts in each province, and District Courts in each district, with a Constitutional Bench of five Supreme Court justices, including the Chief Justice, hearing constitutional questions. The law of Nepal is generally classified as a mixed system, built on a civil code while the principle of stare decisis, deciding cases according to precedent, is also widely practiced.

In Legal System
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.
