doctrine juridique

A "doctrine juridique" (legal doctrine) is a body of established legal principles, interpretations, and theories developed by scholars, courts, and legal institutions over time. It provides a framework for understanding, applying, and interpreting laws in specific areas, guiding judges, attorneys, and policymakers. While not always legally binding like statutes or regulations, doctrines influence legal decisions and help create consistency and coherence within the legal system. Essentially, it serves as a foundation of legal knowledge and reasoning that shapes the development and application of the law.
