This Parliament is a court of justice taken again on the model of that of Paris, created by holy Louis to judge in call in the name of the king.

It extends to the beginning its spring of the the Rhone with the Atlantique, of the the Pyrenees to the Massif Central, but the creation of the Parlement of Bordeaux, in 1462, removes the Guyenne, the Gascogne, the Landes, the Agenais, the Béarn and the Périgord to him.
June 4th, 1444, the new Parliament of Toulouse settles in a room of the Narbonnese castle, but its solemn return takes place only the next on November 11th. It treats civil cases, criminal and ecclesiastical.
In 1590, Henri IV creates a rival Parliament of that of Toulouse with Carcassonne, where the members of Parliament go who are faithful for him.
The most famous lawsuit of the Parliament of Toulouse is the Affaire Fixed. March 9th 1762, Jean Calas is condemned to died by the Parliament.
