This title is an expert translation of the complete Civil Code of France. The French Civil Code, a descendant of the Code Napoleon, provides a detailed description of the court system, including appeals and arbitration procedures, as well as the laws governing all aspects of French life, from public elections to marriage and divorce. The new 2012 edition reflects recent changes made to the Code and includes an extensive glossary of French legal terms and footnotes that explain hard-to-translate terms.
