  How does legislation work in the WW? Is the Wizengamot responsible not only for trials but for the passing of laws? Any insights into the British system would be welcome as well.

  I'm presuming that the system would be, with the name relationship, based on the witangamot, which is very closely related to the old Norse system (both ran concurrently in different parts of England at one time).  The current UK systems are based originally on the Norman law.  For a working 'British, system (but definitely NOT UK!), try the Norse based parliament of the Isle of Man.  The Manx parliament is over 1000 years old, and is called the Tynwald.  For more info on the history and modern running, look at http://www.tynwald.org.im/.
