Overview

Caribbean Law Foundations - Legal Systems & Methods introduces students to the structure, sources, and institutions that shape law across the Commonwealth Caribbean. This volume explains how Caribbean legal systems developed, how courts exercise judicial authority, and how legal rules are organised and applied in practice. The book explores the historical foundations of Caribbean law, including the influence of English common law, statutory law, and regional constitutional frameworks. It also examines the organisation of Caribbean courts, the role of legal institutions, mechanisms of dispute resolution, and the development of modern Caribbean jurisprudence. Topics include the sources of Caribbean law, judicial power, the administration of justice, alternative dispute resolution, the role of the Ombudsman and good governance, and the transition from English legal influence to an emerging Caribbean legal identity. Part of the Caribbean Law Foundations Series, this text provides a clear introduction to the legal systems of the Caribbean and the principles that underpin legal study in the region.
