A Master of Requests (French: maître des requêtes) is a counsel of the French Conseil d'État (Council of State),[1] a high-level judicial officer of administrative law in France. The office has existed in one form or another since the Middle Ages.
The occupational title derives from two words. In jurisprudence and administration, the French term maître is an honorific for a barrister (a lawyer who acts in proceedings before a court of law), and requêtes are "appeals" or "petitions".[1] (The legal term une requête civile is "a petition to an appellate court against a judgement.")[1]
