Understanding Somalia's Legal System
Somalia's legal system draws from multiple sources: the Provisional Constitution of 2012; Italian and British colonial-era legislation; Islamic Sharia law; and customary Xeer law (a traditional dispute resolution system based on clan agreements). The legal system is being rebuilt with international support, with judicial capacity varying across regions.

District Courts; Regional Courts; the Federal High Court; Courts of Appeal. Sharia courts handle personal status matters. The legal system operates alongside traditional Xeer dispute resolution.

The Somali Bar Association is rebuilding. The number of registered lawyers is growing but remains limited relative to population.
Fee Structures and Legal Costs
Variable. International commercial matters command higher fees. Arrangements are flexible.
