French Legal System

Also Known As Law of France
Civil Law Family

French law runs on a dual jurisdictional system made up of private law, also called judicial law, and public law. Judicial law covers civil law and criminal law, while public law covers administrative law and constitutional law, and together these four areas make up the bulk of French law. A 2005 European Commission announcement on European Union criminal offences has prompted the view that EU law should now be treated as a distinct area of French law in its own right rather than simply a set of rules layered onto the existing categories. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

The modern French legal system took shape in the Napoleonic period, after the Revolution of 1789 swept away the fragmented customary and Roman-law traditions of the ancien regime. Its civil law core rests on statute rather than judicial precedent: the Napoleonic Civil Code (1804), Code of Civil Procedure (1806) and Commercial Code (1807), enacted under Napoleon and written in accessible language for lay readers, remain foundational. Legislation is seen as the primary source of French law, in contrast with common law jurisdictions, where case precedent predominates.
