Re: Should states or regions of a country standardize their laws?

Well i have quite bit of experience with the Spanish system . The "federal" system is just there to coordinate between the different autonomous regions of Spain but also to give help or move surplus of capital around .
In terms of the judiciary system infractions are indeed standardized in all regions because it allows judges and attorneys to move around the country without having to relearn a penal system.
The only differences in terms of law that comes to mind are the management of languages and their preservation as there is 5 official languages in Spain those are delt by the regions themselves. That lack of power by the regions is making some regions like Catalonia want to leave Spain because they believe that they give more then the rest akin to Texas in the United States . My personal opinion is that Catalonia much like Texas would fail as an independent state
