The wonderful Legifrance just got even more amazing! It already offered English translations of French codes of law:
- Civil code
- Code of civil procedure
- Code of criminal procedure
- Commercial code
- Consumer code
- Environmental code
- Insurance code
- Intellectual property code
- Monetary and financial code
- Penal code
But, you can now find at Legifrance links to the codes and other sources of French laws in English translation, such as France’s Constitution, laws, and decrees. For more information, check “Translations of French legal texts: contents and updating“. Legifrance also has added links to other language translations of French laws such as Arabic, Chinese, German, Italian, and Spanish. Legifrance is the French government’s free public access to law portal. Besides Legifrance, you can use sources such as Reynolds & Flores Foreign Law Guide (University of Chicago subscription database) and the Law Library of Congress’ Translation of National Legislation into English for locating French law (and the laws of other countries) in English translation.
