In this lesson, we will cover advanced legal vocabulary, which will help you navigate through legal and judicial matters in Polish.
Legal System Structure
Before we start with vocabulary, it is important to understand the structure of the legal system in Poland.

The Constitution of Poland is the supreme law, followed by the Ordinary Courts, Administrative Courts, and the Constitutional Tribunal.
