Côtois law is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Code Sauvageonic Code], but has massively changed since the [[Unification Wars]] and now include 90 codes within its structure. Federal courts can impact petite-national level courts in their rules but not visa versa, as lesser courts do not bind to other higher level court systems. Doctrinal works and academic jurists, the latter often being done within the legal subcommittee of the parliament has strong influence in law creation and in law cases. Judges and judicial officials, have to go through a background check, entry exams and then be selected from a pool by the legal subcommittee of the parliament. The legal system is based on the Federal Constitution, created in 1920 and is the fundamental law of the country. All other forms of legislation and court decisions must conform to its rules. It mostly recently been amended in 2024, for a total of 190 amendments. Petite-Nations have their own constitutions save [[Caenfjord]], which has a charter which all must not contradict the Federal Constitution.
The Federation has four levels of policing, and as required by the constitution is required to maintain a apolitical as a institution. Legally, all forms of law enforcement are a unified in a single organization, but with wide differences in scope between the different branches. To become a federal level law police officer, one has to attend a police academy for six months with a additional requirement of month long training for a petite-nation they are assign too. For lower level, petite-national level law enforcement it is three months and for the lowest level of law enforcement the requirement can differ but usually requires two weeks of training for emergency services. The highest level of law enforcement are specialists agencies, which require a bachelors' degree to join.
Prison system within the Federation, for non-violent offenses take a progressive approach with a focus on education, rehabilitation and community building. The Federation as outline in the construction is required to have specialized prisons and services for its [[Akuanism|Akuan]] population, due to the intense social connections Akuan cultures have. Majority prisons in the federation are Renovillages (''[[Codexian]]: renew villages''), which are isolated villages far away from urban centers where prisoners are for the most part self-governing. While there are guards and staff at the prison, prisoners have a elections for a council, can choose to further education or renew certifications and establish their own laws as long it does not contradict or violent prison's policies or legal laws of the Federation. Prisoners can self-impose punishments on other prisoners if they violate the prisoners' made laws. The prisons themselves, required prisoners to be isolated from the world, as in not-allowed to communicate with family or friends outside of the prison and are required to attend prisoner meetings.
The legal system in the Federation has been criticized internationally, partly out of harshness towards organized criminals and having no formal structure of prison sentencing. When individuals are found guilty and face prison time. As majority cases where prison time is faced, individuals are required to stay in prison until they can prove to a panel of rehabilitation experts that they have reformed. Resulting in prisoners for low-level offenses, on a per capita bases and with all factors includes serve sentences longer than other nations of it size.
