Principles of French Law

This book offers an account of the major features of French law and the French legal system for students and lawyers with a background or emphasis in common law. What sorts of questions would French lawyers consider important? And how would they reply to them? This comprehensive introduction has the answers to such queries; it fully explains French legal institutions, concepts, and techniques. Considerable use is made of the relevant French jurisprudential literature, and several examples from French case-law are included.
