Summary
This legal document, authored by French lawyer William Julié on December 18, 2020, is a response to a US government memorandum regarding a defendant's motion for release. Julié refutes the US government's interpretation of a letter from the French Minister of Justice, arguing that their analysis of French extradition law is incomplete. He asserts that under the French Constitution (Article 55) and the Code of Criminal Procedure (Article 696), international treaties—such as the extradition treaty between the US and France—prevail over domestic law, meaning the key issue is the treaty's terms, not general French legislation.
