In France,criminal appraisal is a system in which the judicial authorities appoint individuals with specialized knowledge in a particular field to interpret and provide expert opinions for resolving technological or scientific issues in criminal cases.As the application of new scientific and technological methods in criminal procedure becomes increasingly common,criminal appraisal plays a vital role in assisting judges to ascertain the factual truth and make accurate judgments.The Code of Criminal Procedure in France in 1808 has established the"mixed"system for the selection of appraisers,the criminal forensic procedure characterized by its"adversarial nature"and"participatory significance",and the"permanent"supervision model by judges over criminal forensics.This has gradually formed a systematic,rigorous,and uniquely characteristic criminal forensic system,holding significant theoretical value in comparative law.
