History
The law of Denmark was originally based on regional laws, of which the most important was the {{lang|da|Jyske Lov}}, or the Law of Jutland 1241. The {{lang|da|Danske Lov}}, or the Danish Code of 1683, promoted unity. The law has been developed via judicial decisions and royal decrees. Roman law has not had much influence on the law of Denmark.
