The legal system in Estonia is based on the Continental European civil law model and has been influenced by the German legal system. Unlike to common law countries, Estonia has detailed codifications and issues are solved according to the codifications.
Estonian law is basically divided into private and public law. Generally private law consists of civil law and commercial law. Public law consists of international law, constitutional law, administrative law, criminal law, financial law and procedural law.
