Volkia's legal system operates on {{Wp|common law}} and has a written constitution which provides for a federal constitutional republic. The federal court system consists of the [[Federal Supreme Court of Volkia|Federal Supreme Court]], the [[Volkian courts of appeals|Courts of Appeals]], and the [[Volkian district courts|District Courts]], all of which apply Volkain federal law and hear both criminal and civil matters. The provincial court systems are set up similarly, with minor differences between each province; all provincial court systems consist of a supreme court, appellate court, and a trial court. Provincial courts try the vast majority of criminal cases in the country. Trials for serious offenses must be tried before a {{Wp|jury}} unless a {{Wp|plea bargain}} can be reached. The Federal Supreme Court and federal Courts of Appeals have the power of judicial review across both federal and provincial law and actions, while provincial supreme courts and appellate courts may only review laws and actions within their province. Except in exceptional circumstances, court hearings must be held in public.

In 2018, Volkia spent 11.4% of its GDP on healthcare. Approximately 79% of health expenditures are covered by government funded agencies while the remaining 21% are privately funded.
