Human Rights is not liberté fondamentales which sounds like Constitutional Law in fact......, Human Rights = Droits de l'homme, not this.

Jane I double checked it out all over the place - it can be Fundamental Law but it is more commonly Human Rights Law - look : term or phrase: Droit des libertés fondamentales There doesn't seem to be a "Fundamental Freedoms Law." The only other branch I know of that might be close is Human Rights Law. But would that be the right translation? This is on a law school transcript.

I have sometimes translated this as "Fundamental Human Rights Law" which is also acceptable, though perhaps less common. Stephen

This comment is mainly for Joyce Zornig. I am not going to go too deep into this matter: 1) Human Rights Law is a quite recent area of law that encompasses in fact a variety of regulations. It´s a legal standard of minimum protection necessary for human dignity. If you read for example the text of the ECHR Convention (http://www.echr.coe.int/NR/rdonlyres/D5CC24A7-DC13-4318-B457-5C9014916D7A/0/Convention_ENG.pdf ) you will notice that the word "freedom" is used (Art. 10 the Freedom of thought, conscience and religion)but it is still considered a right (Everyone has the right to freedom of expression) 2) Note that certain legal terminology might be used in different areas of law with a completely different meaning. 3) The principle of supremacy of European Law ( within the EU) and the direct effect and supremacy of International treaties towards signatories ‘parties means that countries must ensure that their own legal systems comply with EU regulations or International Treaties ( if and only if they are signatories ‘parties of course). So Constitutional Law tends to ensure a certain level of protection at national level. 4) If you are translating a CV I would strongly recommend to do not use Fundamental Freedom Law/Fundamental Rights Law as legal professionals will immediately know that the individual do not master the legal terminology and this will not help your client. 5) If you want to be completely sure, double check with your client - just ask: what did you study on this specific module? Good luck with the translation!

Law - Basic Rights

My comment:

All this repetition of DROIT would not be in an English context....It would be structured differently.
Like: Freedom of speech, freedom of association, etc.

What country is this, anyway?

I disagree- Basic rights is not an area of Law from a Lawyer´s point of view. By the way I can confirm (from own experience) that when you study Law at the University you study different areas of Law (with the word Droit/Law).

Yes, one studies many different areas of law, but the word LAW is not repeated every time as it would be in French. Basic Rights [under a constution]. for instance. Without the country, it's pretty much a useless exercise...
