The president of France is limited to two consecutive terms in office. 3. France has a bicameral parliament that consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. 4. Hugh Capet is generally credited with establishing the first police force in France. 5. The French police system is characterized as being a highly centralized national police system. 6. The French judicial police are responsible for investigating serious crimes.

2 In order to serve in the French National Police, one must begin his or her career as a uniformed officer. 8. The French Minister of Defense is responsible for the administration of the National Gendarmerie. 9. Like the English, the French have a panel of citizens who investigate serious complaints about the police. 10. The National Gendarmerie is responsible for policing towns with populations under 10, According to the text, the French have had a difficult time recruiting qualified candidates for the police service. 12. In the French National Police, more than 50 percent of the commissioners of police hold university degrees.

3 Because of the relatively low crime rate, French police have not found it necessary to develop a crime prevention program. 14. Women cannot serve as police officers in the French National Gendarmerie. 15. In the medieval period, the right of wealthy landowners to administer justice in their territory was a characteristic of feudalism. 16. The French Court of Cassation consists of nine justices. 17. In all French trial courts, judges sit in panels of three to hear the case. 18. To become a judge in France, the person runs on a nonpartisan ballot during the general elections.

4 A member of the French magistracy can choose a career as a judge or a procurator. 20. The principle of stare decisis does not exist in France. 21. When a court case is appealed in France on the grounds that a person s constitutional rights have been violated, the appeal is heard in the Constitutional Council. 22. As is the case in England and the United States, French judges may issue dissenting opinions when ruling on cases on appeal. 23. In a French criminal trial in which a victim has a civil claim against the defendant, that issue can be heard concurrently with the criminal case. 24. Like English lawyers, French lawyers are divided into two distinct groups.

5 The method of French legal education is essentially theoretical in nature. 26. The 1981 Security and Liberty Law curtailed the discretionary authority of the French police. 27. During a French preliminary investigation into an offense, the legal validity for detaining a suspect is determined through a writ of habeas corpus. 28. Following a French preliminary investigation into a serious criminal allegation, the merits of the case are reviewed in the chamber of instruction of a court of appeal. 29. The French police have the power to detain a person for up to 24 hours; if they wish to extend the period of detention, they must seek the approval of an officer above the rank of lieutenant. 30.

6 2-6 one year. 31. An accused has the legal right in France to consult with a lawyer before his or her initial appearance before an investigating judge. 32. In France, searches and seizures are legal without a warrant if the crime is flagrant. 33. A French chamber of instruction has the authority to rule on the admissibility of evidence. 34. The most important source of French criminal law is the Penal Code. 35. France has abolished capital punishment. 36. France does not have a procedure for bail.

7 French trial lawyers strongly support the legal aid scheme. 38. While French jurors in a court of assize vote with judges to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused, they do not participate in determining the sentence. 39. The Security and Liberty Law (1981) has enhanced the discretionary authority of the French procurator. 40. In France, a fine can be imposed on a person who has committed either a crime, delit, or contravention. 41. The 1994 Penal Code of France stipulates a maximum and minimum sentence for all offenses. 42. In France, the minimum term of incarceration is six months.

8 When a person is found guilty of a contravention in France, the sanction is limited to a fine, a noncustodial sentence or both. 44. In France, the work of the probation department is under the control of the post-sentencing judge. 45. French police play an active role in diverting juveniles from the formal juvenile justice system. 46. In cases involving juveniles, due process procedures are often ignored in France. 47.
