Nauruan law, since the country's 1968 independence from Australia, derives primarily from English and Australian common law, while also drawing on indigenous customary law to a limited extent. It rests mainly on statute enacted by the Parliament of Nauru together with precedents set through judicial interpretation of statutes, custom and prior rulings.

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.
