It is presented in the form of maxims—comparable to Dantoine's Rules of Civil Law for Roman law—each time indicating the authors or texts that refer to it. It contains provisions relating to public law (on the powers of the king), feudal law, the law of persons, and contract law. For each maxim, he cites all the authors who supported it as well as the judgments that justify it. Dupin describes the stages of writing this text as follows: “This work belongs less to Pocquet de Livonière than to his eldest son, professor of law in Angers. The father had drawn up the plan, the son executed it, and the father, after correcting it, took it to Paris, where it was received by Berroyer, Freteau and a few others (Memoirs of Nicéron, Vol. 17, p. 304).” (Dupin no. 1432).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963114717531,"sku":"26246","price":300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/26246-pocquet-regles-du-droit-francois","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
