The Droit

The term droit is used in various legal connexions (i.e., French law), such as the droit of angary, the droit d'achat  in the case of contraband, the feudal droit de bris, the droit de regale or ancient royal privilege of claiming the revenues and patronage of a vacant bishopric, and the feudal droites of seignory generally.

In French, droit can mean the whole body of the Law, as in the motto "dieu et mon droit," which is to say "God and my whole body of Law." Droit d'auteur is a term for French copyright law.
