| - The law of the Empire of Barrayar comprises two levels of codified and non-codified forms of law, of which the most important is the legal tradition of Barrayar. Barrayaran laws are interpreted according to the teleological principle. This opens the way for the teleological or purposive interpretation, which gives a value for the dominant purpose of the rule, enabling you to actualize the meaning of the rule itself (for example, in the light of technological and scientific progress). The continued and uninterrupted tradition sets out the boundaries of federal law, which consists of Imperial decrees, acts of the Joint Council, treaties ratified by the Council of Counts, regulations promulgated by the Government or by the Council of Ministers and case law originating from the federal judiciary. The Imperial law is the supreme law of the land, thus pre-empting conflicting subordinate laws in the Empire. The central authorities - i.e. Emperor, Ministers and Counts - exercise a direct rule for what regards both Imperial and Barrayaran Laws, although these legal system have two different court systems. The coincidence of authority of Imperial and Barrayaran Laws means that there is virtually no distinction of political and legal address and that, de facto, the same system is in power for the whole Empire and Barrayar, with legislator deciding case by case if the act has to affect the whole Imperium or the single planet, while the Komarran and the Sergyaran vice-royalties enjoy of limited autonomy.
