Scope

edit

This glossary includes terms from the French administrative law under the legal system in France. Legal terms from other countries that use French language (Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, North Africa, etc) are not included here, nor are countries other than France with a civil law system derived from the Napoleonic Code. Terms from French criminal law are generally not included here, unless they have repercussions for administrative law, nor matters of concordance with the administrative law of the European Union.Elinruby (talk) 03:11, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Disclaimer

edit

There is absolutely no assurance that any statement contained in this article is true, correct, or precise. The information in this article is believed to be correct but is, at best, of a general nature and cannot substitute for the advice of a competent authority with specialized knowledge. This article (and all articles at Wikipedia) are covered by this legal disclaimer; please read it.

Style

edit

Each entry consists of a bolded headword containing one French expression, followed by an indented section with a translated equivalent or definition of the term. Headwords appear as they would if found in English running text; thus italicized, and in lower case unless always capitalized. Many of these terms can be found in French Wikipedia; if so, then the headword appears in blue and is linked directly to the French Wikipedia article. Below the headword, the indented text may contain either a direct translation of the French term, a definition or description of it, or some combination. A section symbol (§) prefixed before a term indicates a link to another term appearing elsewhere on the page.
