Everything about Northern Ireland Law totally explained

Northern Ireland law concerns the legal system of Northern Ireland.

Background

For the purposes of private international law the United Kingdom is divided into three states each with a separate legal system and jurisdiction:
Northern Ireland is a common law jurisdiction. Its common law is very similar to English common law and derives from the same sources. However there are some important differences in law and procedure between Northern Ireland and England and Wales.
   Current statute law of Northern Ireland comprises Acts of Parliament of the United Kingdom Parliament which apply to Northern Ireland and acts of the devolved Northern Ireland Assembly, as well as Statutory Instruments made by Departments of the Northern Ireland Executive and the British Government. Also remaining on the statute books are Acts of the Parliament of Northern Ireland passed between 1920 and 1972, Orders in Council made during direct rule, and certains Acts of the Irish Parliament made before the Act of Union 1800, and Acts of the English Parliament and British Parliament extended to Ireland under Poyning's Law between 1494 and 1782.
