Presentation

  • Head of teaching: Pascal Vielfaure

 To understand the importance of legal history, one need only read these few introductory lines from the 19th-century Répertoire Dalloz! "Few studies are as interesting and useful as that of legal history. It is full of fruitful lessons for philosophers, historians, and legal experts. (...) But knowledge of it is especially necessary for the true legal expert, in order to penetrate the true meaning and understand the real scope of the civil institutions of his time; for the present, even after the most profound moral or social revolutions, is always linked to the past by powerful ties that cannot be broken without reducing it to an enigma itself."
