The independence of Timor-Leste in 2002 resulted in the creation of a new legal system, which had to navigate a difficult transition from the legal systems inherited from the former Portuguese, Indonesian and United Nations administrations to a new system for the independent nation. So far, little has been published about Timor-Leste’s legal system.This paper intends to provide a concise and practical guide to the Timorese legal system for legal and non-legal practitioners and academics interested in Timorese law. It gives a brief overview of the Timorese formal justice system and points out the gaps and omissions that complicate the daily work of legal professionals in Timor-Leste and which leads to a low degree of legal certainty
