In right, the convention is an official agreement made between individuals, social or political groups, States. However, for the economists and the sociologists, convention is opposed to the contract. With the difference in this last, it is not necessarily formalized but makes it possible individuals to coordinate their actions. Ethymologiquement, convention comes from Latin " conventio" (to come with; to be appropriate)
In right
The convention term recovers several different legal concepts, as well in Private law as in public Droit.
In private law
In private law, convention is an agreement of wills intended to produce effects Right. When convention creates obligations, this one is also a Contrat. If convention modifies, transmits or extinguishes existing obligations without having as an aim to create new ones, convention is not a Contrat.Convention is a legal category broader than the Contrat. All the contracts are necessarily conventions, certain conventions are not contracts.
In the legal vocabulary running, the words contracts and conventions are however used like synonyms. But the " term; contrat" renvoit more has " the instrumentum" , i.e. the support on which one writes the contract, and the " term; convention" renvoit with the " negotium" , i.e., it on what the contract carries, its object.
