Summary/Abstract: The French law vocabulary includes, in the present days, elements of all sources even if we speak about either dead languages or living ones, foreign ones or dialects of the ancient French. The etymological sense has its complete value taking into account the present law sense. The Greek or Latin elements are important to the evolution and the development of this professional language but, in the same time, they are the source of new words, created in this field.
