Instead, the French legal system subscribes to the legal doctrine of jurisprudence constante according to which courts should follow a series of decisions that are in accord with each other and judges should rule on their own interpretation of the law.
相反，法国的法律体系认同恒定司法权，据此法院应该遵从一系列与彼此一致的决定，而且法官应该就他们自己对法律的解释裁决。
