 LLRX -- Update to A Guide to the UK Legal System
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland consists of four countries forming three distinct jurisdictions each having its own court system and legal profession: England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
The United Kingdom was established in 1801 with the union of Great Britain and Ireland, but only achieved its present form in 1922 with the partition of Ireland and the establishment of the independent Irish Free State (later the Republic of Ireland).
This proved unacceptable to the South and after negotiations leading to the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 (on the National Archives of Ireland website), the 26 counties of Southern Ireland left to form the Irish Free State, now known as the Republic of Ireland.

First, that political parties do differ in their policy behaviour (contrary to the median voter theorem); this is clearly supported by postwar evidence for the United Kingdom, West Germany and Sweden.
Second, expected real interest rates on bonds are related to budget deficits and/or public debt, according to evidence for the United States and United Kingdom from 1920 to 1982.
Third, we find some modest but (as we expected from the indirectness of the relationship) rather weak evidence of a connection between which party was in power and the level and variability of inflation in the same period for these two countries.

 LLRX.com - Devolution in the United Kingdom: A Revolution in Online Legal Research
Devolution refers to the ‘transfer and subsequent sharing of powers between institutions of government within a limited framework set out in legislation.’ The process of devolution in the United Kingdom is neither new nor necessarily complete.
The net result for the legal researcher is that although a more complex constitutional structure is in place, the availability of official documents from the new legislative bodies mitigates some of the difficulties one might expect to encounter with a new system of government.
However, U.K. legal research is starting to adopt a flavor more associated with the United States, Australia or Canada in which both national and regional (state, provincial, or territorial) variances in law must be considered.
