Contrary to common-law practice in the American states, Texas courts were not separated into distinct courts of law and equity. The amending process was so complex that, although in the ten-year life span of the constitution several amendments were suggested, none was ever adopted. Amendments could be proposed in one session of Congress, referred to the next session for a second approval, and then submitted to a popular vote. Of nearly paramount importance at the time of adoption were provisions relating to land. The document sought in many ways to protect the rights of people in the unoccupied lands of the republic, lands that were the main attraction to the immigrants who had come to Texas. In its "Schedule," for example, the constitution affirmed "that all laws now in force in Texas The constitution also sought to void all "unjust and fraudulent claims. Preference of the predominantly Anglo-American settlers for the legal system they had known "back in the states" is apparent in a provision that called for the introduction of the common law of England as early as practicable and declared it the rule to be used in deciding all criminal cases. Although the constitution of was a revolutionary document written and adopted in haste, it was a product of the social and economic conditions of the time as well as of the constitutional and legal heritage of Texas, the southern and western states, and the United States. Therefore, Anglo-Americans immigrating to the Republic of Texas found institutions of law and government in accord with their experience. See also LAW. George D. Braden, ed.

UPDATE: Researching Law in - GlobaLex

Medieval laws showed clear influences from Canon Law, yet only sporadic influence from Roman law. Both Canon and Roman law were nevertheless taught at the University of from its inception in Absolutism was brought to Denmark in , and a lex regia was issued in Though absolutist, this regime was considered to be enlightened and benevolent. The most significant piece of legislation of the period was the Danish Code , issued by King Christian V. Law was professionalized in significant ways in the 18th century. A legal university degree was introduced as the University of Copenhagen in , and the Royal and City Court Hof- og Stadsretten was founded in Furthermore, the European developments of the period made their way to the heart of Danish legal thinking and practice. European influences manifested themselves most clearly in the activities of Henrik Stampe, who, inspired by the European Enlightenment writers of the time, made several proposals for legal reform. The absolutist monarchy was abolished in , the constitutional monarchy was introduced in , and Nordic legal cooperation began to take shape. Initially, only Norway, Denmark and Sweden took part in the cooperation, but after its independence in , Finland also joined. Nordic cooperation has strived for a certain level of consistency between the laws of the Nordic countries, yet it has maintained complete national autonomy. This makes Nordic cooperation different from the European Community, and the European Union, which Denmark joined in Denmark is a constitutional monarchy. The Constitutional Act of places the legislative power with the King and the Parliament conjointly. The executive power is vested in the King. Reference to the King in practice refers to the Government. The judicial power lies with the Courts of Justice. The Government may dissolve the Parliament and call for general elections, while a majority of the members of Parliament may issue a vote of no confidence in a Cabinet or a Minister. The Courts of Justice have control over the Government and Administration and may try the constitutionality of Parliamentary Acts. The Parliamentary Ombudsman has right of scrutiny of the administration of the executive powers. Royal authority is inherited in accordance with the Act of Succession to the Throne of March 27, Formally, it is the King or Queen who appoints and dismisses the Prime Minister and her ministers. Moreover, the King or Queen gives royal assent to bills approved by Parliament. In practice, the government is formed by the prime minister, and the Government and Parliament legislate conjointly. The Parliament Folketinget sits in a single chamber. It consists of elected members, two of whom are elected from the , and two from . Parliamentary elections are held every four years, unless an election is called earlier. Legislative bills must be presented and accepted three times in the same Parliamentary year. In between these three presentations and votes on the bill, parliamentary committees may issue reports and resolve political disputes on the bill. Once approved, the bill must receive Royal Assent and be promulgated in order to acquire validity. The executive power operates under the authority of the King or Queen - in practice, the Prime Minister. She appoints and dismisses the individual ministers, each administrating different branches of state government. The Prime Minister has appointed twenty ministers August Each ministry typically consists of a central department and several ministerial agencies under its jurisdiction. The extent and circumstances of the delegations is defined by statutory law, and the local municipalities exist under the supervision of state authority. According to the recent reform of the structure of local and regional governance, Denmark is divided into 98 local municipalities and five regions. Each municipality is governed by an elected body of locally elected representatives. The Special Court of Indictment and Revision hears cases of disciplinary sanctions against judges and re-opening of criminal cases. The Court of Impeachment hears cases in which Ministers are charged with mischarging their duties. Judges are appointed for life. Judges also enjoy personal independence. They cannot be removed against their will, and they may only be dismissed by order of the Special Court of Indictment and Revision. Similar safeguards are conferred on deputy judges. To further ensure the independence of the judiciary, The Danish Court Administration was established in to manage the appointment of judges and the economic and organizational administration of the Danish courts. The administration is formally independent from the executive power and is governed by an executive committee. County courts have county jurisdiction and the two High Courts have regional jurisdiction. Only the has national jurisdiction. County Court decisions are appealable to the High Court. High Court decisions can be appealed to the Supreme Court. As a general rule, a case can be appealed only once. Small claims cases cannot be appealed at all. Decisions of general public interest can be granted leave of appeal by the Board of Appeal. Unlike that of some other, the Danish judiciary does not have special courts for administrative matters, criminal matters, civil matters countries, or constitutional matters. The Supreme Court hears appeals on all matters. Laymen participate in the handling of criminal cases; they vote together with the judge both in county court cases and in High court cases. For more information about the Danish judicial system, see the website for the Courts of Denmark. Since Denmark joined the European Community, which transformed into the European Union, its legal system has been influenced significantly by European Community law. A large proportion of Danish and regulations are the result of obligations to the European Union and many legal matters are regulated directly by EU law. Denmark has been a member of the European Community since As a result of the Edinburgh agreement, Denmark has four opt-outs to the Maastricht Treaty. First, Denmark does not participate in European Union citizenship this provision has been incorporated into the Amsterdam Treaty. Second, Denmark does not participate in the European economic and monetary union. Third, Denmark does not take part in supranational decisions and actions in the area of common defense. Fourth, Denmark does not take part in supranational cooperation in the area of justice and home affairs. Major sources of law in Denmark include the Constitutional Act, statutory legislation, regulatory statutes, precedent, and customary law. Danish law is characterized by extensive bodies of systematic and written law. is dominated by a range of individual statutory acts and, in some areas, by unwritten law guided mainly by precedent and custom. Generally, is governed by the Criminal Code, and is governed by two general statutory acts of public administration Forvaltningsloven og Offentlighedsloven and a complex body of substantive, sector-specific statutory acts. The Constitutional Act represents the highest national legal authority. It first came into force in and was revised in An official version of the Constitutional Act in English is available online. Statutory legislation has primacy over other written legal sources, save for the Constitutional Act. A large number of individual statutes have been adopted to regulate individual areas of law. The official versions of new statutory laws appear in the official journal Lovtidende A Since January 1, lovtidende is published electronically. Lovtidende is published in three sections: A, B and C. Lovtidende A contains all statutes, decrees and orders which are not published in Lovtidende B. Lovtidende C contains treaties. Lovtidende is published on any given weekday on which regulations are to be made public. Acts are normally announced the day after the Royal Assent has been granted. The laws are available online on Retsinformation. Only selected sources are available predating The database also contains bills and most other documents from the legislative process in the Parliament, parliamentary resolutions and proposals for parliamentary resolutions. Statements from the Danish Ombudsman and administrative decisions with precedent character are also available from the database. Another entry to statutory laws is the collection of commentated statutory laws and more, published and regularly updated in Karnovs Lovsamling published by Karnov Group. This collection is an extremely valuable research tool, as it combines access to legislation and case-law, as well as a wide range of published articles those published in journals of Karnov Group. Access to Karnov requires a username and password. Other online research tools include eLov. Furthermore, Schultz Legal Research is expected to launch a paid service giving access to a legal database containing statutes, commentary and court practice. Most major pieces of statutory law have been the subject of a legal commentary, systematically and regularly published by Djoef Publishing. These commentaries are likewise indispensable for research purposes and, together with Karnov , serve as a principal tool for practitioners to clarify uncertainties of interpretation and guide legal discretion.
