The tribunal de commerce, or commercial court, is one of the oldest courts in the French judicial system, with jurisdiction over commercial disputes including disagreements between merchants, disputes over commercial acts, controversies involving commercial corporations, and bankruptcy proceedings. Unlike career judges elsewhere in the French judiciary, its judges are elected traders, chosen for two- or four-year terms by an electoral college made up of current and former commercial court judges together with delegates elected by traders. France maintains 134 such commercial courts nationwide. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
