Petty offences (liable of a fine only) are dealt with by the "tirbunal de police", the lowest criminal French jurisdiction. You can be assisted by a lawyer if youu want to. Intermediate offences (such as theft) are judged by a panel of three judges, plus a public prosecutor. Unless you don't want a lawyer to defend you, there is one, sometimes paid for by the state. The highest range of offences ("crimes" in French; that could be violent theft that left you injured, for example) are judged by a criminal court, with the same professionals plus a jury of twelve people.
