LAW FRENCH. A fossilized form of
NORMAN FRENCH used until the 18c in the courts of England. In 1362, French ceased to be a language of pleading, but its legal use was not officially abandoned until 1731. Many archaic French usages continue in the legal usage of England, such as:
amerce,
implead,
malfeasance,
tort. French word order is preserved in
attorney general,
court martial,
fee simple,
malice aforethought. The names of most legal roles in English are French in origin, such as:
attorney,
bailiff,
coroner,
judge,
jury,
plaintiff. The same is the case with the names of many crimes (such as:
arson,
felony,
libel,
perjury,
slander,
trespass) and of legal actions, processes, and institutions (such as
bail,
bill,
decree,
evidence,
fine,
forfeit,
gaol/jail,
penalty,
pillory,
plea,
prison,
punishment,
ransom,
sentence,
suit,
summons,
verdict).
