Dictionaries and glossaries

edit

Prof. Jean-Paul's dictionary of criminal law is the most exhaustively complete reference of terms in French criminal law. Example:

The {{lang|fr|ordre public}} is characterized by tranquility, public health, and safety.{{sfn|Doucet|2019|loc=[http://ledroitcriminel.fr/dictionnaire/lettre_o/lettre_ordre.htm O-5]}}

The Council of Europe has a bilingual Legal dictionary, partly viewable through Google books, for a limited number of A–J words: 

* <!--{{sfn|Bridge|1994|p=}}-->{{cite book |last1=Bridge |first1=F. H.

CNRTL.fr is a comprehensive French online dictionary, which also includes legal terms (marked Dr. -- Droit) and has etymologies as well. Terms like infraction, contravention, delit, crime, partie civile (under partie), procureur, punir, reinsertion could all be found there. It's a dictionary, so generally does not have multiple-word expressions.

An example, using garde à vue:

Police custody is the situation in which a person, suspected of having committed or attempted to commit an offense punishable by imprisonment, is held by the police or gendarmerie as part of a judicial investigation. It is a measure that deprives a person of liberty for a strictly limited period of time.{{sfn|MDLJ-Lexique|2008|loc=[http://www.justice.gouv.fr/mots-cles/mc_g.html G]}

A list of additional legal glossaries can be found at Glossary of French criminal law#Further reading.

Monographs

edit

Monographs (longer than dictionary entries) on certain important topics of French criminal law can be found at MDLJ and Dalloz (where they are called "fiches"). Also, the entries at Prof. Doucet's dictionary are sometimes longer than an article stub would be, so they are entire articles on their own, although heavily technical with lots of legal and historical references.

Citing Légifrance

edit

Légifrance is a very comprehensive database of all French laws and judicial text, from the 1500s to the present. Wikipedia has three templates to assist in citing a text or law at Legifrance:

  • {{Legifrance}} – to create an external link inline to a law or text
  • {{sfn Legifrance}} – to create a short footnote to a law or text
  • {{Legifrance}} – to create a full, long-form citation to Légifrance, suitable either as an inline, named reference, or as a full citation in the "Works cited" section of an article that uses short footnotes.

Without using any of these templates, you'd have to cite a particular law the long way, like this: 

<ref name="law-1944-08-09">{{cite web |url=http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=LEGITEXT000006071212&dateTexte=20090620 |title=Ordonnance du 9 août 1944 relative au rétablissement de la légalité républicaine sur le territoire continental – Version consolidée au 10 août 1944 |trans-title=Law of 9 August 1944 Concerning the reestablishment of the legally constituted Republic on the mainland – consolidated version of 10 August 1944 |date=9 August 1944 |website=gouv.fr |publisher=Legifrance |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090716040542/http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=LEGITEXT000006071212&dateTexte=20090620 |archive-date=16 July 2009 |access-date=21 October 2015}}</ref>

which is a lot to know and type out. Much simpler is this: 

{{Cite Légifrance |base=CPP |number=62-2 |text=CPP art. 62-2 |url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/section_lc/LEGITEXT000006071154/LEGISCTA000006151876/#LEGISCTA000006151876 |id=62-2}}

Even simpler, is either of these two. The first one is in inline named reference style; the second is using short footnotes: 

...and restored the republic after war.<ref name="cpp 62-2">{{Cite Legifrance|base=CPP|number=62-2}}</ref>

...and restored the republic after war.{{sfn Legifrance|CPP|62-2}}

In some cases, you need to find the url separately (details at the template doc), resulting in something like this: 

...by the important 1971 decision of the Constitutional Council #71-44 DC.{{sfn Legifrance|text=Const. Council dec. 71-44 DC of 16 July 1971|url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/cons/id/CONSTEXT000017665605}}
