Law of South America

Law of South America

The law of South America is one of the most unified in the world. All countries can be said to follow civil law systems, though recent developments in the law of Brazil suggest a move towards the "stare decisis" doctrine. Moreover, all countries have recently signed up to the Union of South American Nations agreement, which aims to establish a system of supra-national law along the lines of the European Union.
