Article A36-10-7 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Candidates are forbidden to have printed or handwritten documents with them, on pain of exclusion. However, they may consult codes or compendia of laws, decrees and circulars; the latter may include references to legislative or regulatory texts as well as articles of doctrine or case law decisions.

Any fraud or attempted fraud in any of the written tests will result in immediate exclusion from the examination, with no right of appeal. Without prejudice to disciplinary sanctions, the candidate may not be allowed to sit the examination in subsequent years.

Article A36-10-7
Il est interdit aux candidats, sous peine d’exclusion, d’avoir par-devers eux des documents imprimés ou manuscrits. Toutefois, ils peuvent consulter des codes ou recueils de lois, décrets et circulaires ; ces derniers peuvent comporter des références à des textes législatifs ou réglementaires ainsi qu’à des articles de doctrine ou des décisions de jurisprudence.


Toute fraude ou tentative de fraude dans l’une quelconque des épreuves écrites entraîne l’exclusion immédiate de l’examen, prononcée sans délai et sans appel. Sans préjudice de sanctions disciplinaires, le candidat peut ne pas être autorisé à se présenter à l’examen les années suivantes.
