actes or arrêts?[edit]

A recent anon edit changed actes de réglement to arrêts de réglement. Is this correct in the context where it is used? I believe both terms exist, and I thought the correct one was there, and there is no citation or edit summary. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:01, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

I confirm. Arrêt de réglement is the correct term. Do a Google search with "arrêt de réglement", and you'll see several authentical documents from the 17th and 18th centuries containing the term. Hardouin 10:55, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

http://ledroitcriminel.free.fr/dictionnaire/lettre_a/lettre_a_arm.htm as retrieved on May 21, 2005 looks like a fairly good citation on this.

Savoy?[edit]

Why is Savoy listed here? It was not part of ancien régime France. —Preceding unsigned comment added by John Kenney (talk • contribs) 18:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

parliament[edit]

The term "Parliament of Paris" appears twice, and "parliament" and "parliamentary" also appear. Should these actually say "parlement"? Randall Bart Talk 16:53, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would think so. I don't feel expert enough to assert absolutely that "parliament" is wrong, but it does seem unnecessarily confusing. Parlement (the French ancient regime judicial institution) is certainly not equivalent to the Westminster legislative assembly, and transliteration from French to English can only be confusing.

The word "parliament" is still there today. --Clifford Mill (talk) 14:17, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Math error[edit]

"In 1789 there were 13 parlements, ... Each was composed of a dozen or more appellate judges, or about 1,100 nationwide." But 13 * 12 = 156, not 1,100. To get 1,100 each court would have to have 84 judges, which is 7 dozen; nothing like "a dozen or more" which in English means something considerably under 24. I hope someone who knows more about this, can correct the phrase to "several dozen" or verify my math. Thanks, Nick Beeson (talk) 13:18, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would guess that in this case "dozen or more" means "from 12 to infinity"... But we need a source anyway. Thus I'll undo your change and add the tags... --Martynas Patasius (talk) 23:26, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Needed re "conseil"[edit]

The terms "conseil souverain" and "conseil provincial" need to be defined and distinguished from "regular" parlements.
