Peruvian law belongs to the Roman-Germanic tradition, giving primary weight to written statutes known as leyes over judicial precedent. Peru operates under the Constitution of December 31, 1993, with Congress enacting laws and decrees published in the official gazette El Peruano. Its core codes now in force are the Civil Code of 1984, the Penal Code of 1991, and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 2004, applied through a judicial hierarchy running from the Supreme Court down through Superior Courts, Courts of First Instance, and Courts of Peace.

In Legal Family
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
Family classification carried over from this entity's own recorded SubLabel (Civil Law Family), 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.
