The Mongolian legal system was influenced by the Romano-Germanic legal system between civil law and public law. In 1924, after the declaration of Mongolia`s first constitution, the nation established military justice systems with the help of Soviet military legal advisers.

Today, Mongolia has military justice systems based on the disciplinary rules of the Mongolian Armed Forces. these rules are approved by the President, as are the rules on extrajudicial sanctions.
