Historical Data
The Parlement de Paris was the oldest of the ancien régime's parlements, which functioned as an appellate court. Offspring of the Curia regis, the Curia in Parlemento became more autonomous after the mid-thirteenth century. Established on the Île de Cité by Louis IX, it adjudicated cases concerning the king's vassals, appeals of decisions made by royal officials and seignorial courts. It filled lacunae in the law and set rules of procedure. From the fourteenth century onward, the Parlement also registered the crown's edicts and rulings. The Chambre aux Plaids, or Grande Chambre, was the central court of the Parlement, and it was joined by other chambers, including the Chambres des Enquêtes, the Chambre des Requêtes, the Chambre Tournelle (for criminal cases), etc. Other parlements were created for various French provinces beginning in the fifteenth century, but the Parlement de Paris retained the widest jurisdiction. A source of opposition to the crown between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the Parlements were disbanded after the French Revolution.
