By contrast, administrative "circulaires" are not law, merely instructions by government ministries. Circulaires are nonetheless important in guiding public officials and judges. For example, the Circulaire of 14 May 1993 contains detailed instructions for prosecutors and judges on how to apply new rules in the 1992 revised criminal code. Circularies are not considered sources of law in private courts, but are sometimes considered binding in administrative courts. As such, the binding "circulaires règlementaires" are reviewed like other administrative acts, and can be found illegal if they contravene a parliamentary statute.
