    (Dupin no. 1502). Contemporary legal scholarship has developed a rather ambivalent attitude towards Pardessus. On the one hand, it acknowledges that P. was the author of the major work of commercial law doctrine in the first half of the 19th century. But on the other hand, it criticizes him for having transposed the methods of the School of Exegesis to commercial law and thus for having contributed to rigidifying a field for which flexibility and adaptation to the facts are, on the contrary, essential (J. Hilaire, IHDC, no. 65). This criticism seems somewhat unfair: P. did indeed extend his field of study beyond the mere confines of the commercial code and was the first to attempt to encompass the entire subject. In reality, the criticisms that can be leveled against him stem from the mediocrity of the doctrine of the old law (with the exception of the Savary family), which did not lay the foundations of modern law, as, for example, Pothier and Domat had been able to do so in civil law.
