The phrase "legal landscape" refers to the current state of law and legal systems within a particular jurisdiction or region. It encompasses the body of laws, legal precedents and interpretations that govern the behavior of individuals, businesses and organizations within that jurisdiction. The legal landscape can change over time as new laws are passed, old ones amended or repealed and legal interpretations evolve. The phrase is often used to describe the complex and ever-changing environment in which lawyers, judges and other legal professionals operate.
