The Legal System
Guernsey's legal system is derived from Norman French and English Common Law, and justice is administered by the Royal Court. Advocates assume the roles of Solicitors and Barristers. They are fully qualified in English, Norman and Guernsey legislation.
Newcomers to the island should contact one of the local firms for legal advice, especially in relation to the purchase of property.
