This text is crucial for understanding the scope of Colbert's ordinances of 1667 and 1670 on civil and criminal procedure. It contains the minutes of the debates of the \"Council of Reform\" chaired by his uncle, H. Pussort. While Sueur (2-103) mentions the presence of Louis XIV presiding over this commission—much like Bonaparte did for the Civil Code—a reading of these minutes reveals that the debates were primarily conducted among legal experts, with Pussort handling referrals to the King as needed. What is most striking in this text is the constant conflict between Pussort, a proponent of expedited justice, particularly in criminal matters, and the First President of the Parliament, Lamoignon, as well as Talon, the Advocate General. The clearly heated discussions on restrictions to legal counsel, the use of torture as a form of evidence, avenues of appeal, and judicial discipline and accountability are foundational texts on the fairness of a judicial system that still resonate today. Our edition is the first to transcribe all the transcripts, which until now had been largely abridged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51962467123547,"sku":"7491","price":304.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/7491-procez-verbal-des-conferences-1","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
