French Law is the legal system of France, based on a civil law tradition. It is primarily derived from written statutes, codes, and regulations, with the Napoleonic Code being one of the most significant legal documents. The system emphasizes the role of judges in interpreting laws rather than creating them. The French legal framework is organized into various branches, including criminal law, civil law, and administrative law. Courts in France are structured hierarchically, with the Cour de Cassation serving as the highest court for civil and criminal matters. This system aims to ensure justice and uphold individual rights within the country.
