Conseil d'État, Supreme administrative court in Palais-Royal, Paris, France

The Council of State operates as the highest administrative jurisdiction in France, providing legal advice to the executive branch and resolving administrative disputes.

Napoleon Bonaparte established the Council of State on December 13, 1799, replacing the former Royal Council as part of his administrative reforms.

Members of the Council belong to the French Grand Corps de l'État and generally come from graduates of the National School of Administration.

The Council reviews all cabinet orders and legal instruments, manages 42 administrative tribunals, and handles over 240,000 administrative cases annually.

The institution maintains a dual role as both the supreme administrative court and the primary legal advisor to the French government.
