The judiciary of Somaliland (Somali: Garsoorka Somaliland; Arabic: السلطة القضائية في صوماليلاند)is the judicial branch of the Somaliland government.
Mandated by the 1997 Constitution, the judiciary is responsible for overseeing and interpreting the law.[1] It comprises the national and district courts as well as the attorney general and his deputies.
A combination of a number of separate legal traditions, the Somaliland legal system is primarily based on traditional Islamic Shariah law.[1] Though there are no official Shariah courts in Somaliland, the state courts uphold Shariah.[2] In addition to Sharia, Somaliland courts also use a form of British colonial law and traditional common law.[3]
