Reading the history of penal law is very important. To imagine the future of this law, we must study its history and fix its roots. Without going into details, we tried, with a simple language, to lighten the history of penal law. First, by presenting the main notions of penal law, its parts and the importance of devising crimes, then, by discussing the roots of this law, so that the reader can compare how this law was and what it became. In this study, we saw how the penal French law has developed, since its birth, and still developing till now. Eventhough the Jordanian legislator has been influenced by the French penal law, which had been translated in Lebanon, we find in the Jordanian penal law a double level of penalties, maximum and minimum. But we found that the Jordanian judges did not applicate the terms of law like the French ones.
