Judicial Systems Across the Globe: A View from France
In this series, we explore other countries’ legal systems to become more acquainted with their procedures.
In this episode, Host Cecilia Lahaye (Bird & Bird LLP) sits down with Sylvie Gallage-Alwis (Signature Litigation AARPI) to uncover the unique aspects of France’s civil law system. Unlike in common law countries, aspiring legal professionals in France must decide early whether to pursue a career as a lawyer or as a judge. Plus, the discovery process—an essential feature in many legal systems—is notably absent in France, leading to a more selective approach to sharing information with judges and plaintiffs. Join us as we dive into these key differences and explore how France’s legal system shapes justice.
