Abstract
Abstract The United Kingdom constitution contains multiple legal orders, and so contains multiple sets of constitutional laws. The chapter considers the nature of a legal order and identifies the differing legal orders that co-exist within the UK and examines their relationships. The existence and autonomy of the English and Scots legal orders is discussed, and the extent to which Wales and Northern Ireland can be considered to have distinct legal orders is also surveyed. The processes through which these regions became parts of the United Kingdom shaped, and continues to shape, their legal identities. The potential for further regional legal autonomy is considered.
