Law of Finland
The law of Finland (Finnish: Suomen laki, Swedish: Finlands lag) is based on the civil law tradition, primarily consisting of statutory law promulgated by the Parliament of Finland. In the statutory hierarchy, the Constitution, originally approved in 1919 and rewritten in 2000, holds supreme authority and establishes basic rights and key procedures for enacting and applying legislation, with acts of Parliament (Finnish: laki, Swedish: lag) serving as primary legislation alongside the Constitution.
