    This collection of Dupin's pleadings, from his period as a liberal lawyer before he became one of the darlings of the July Monarchy, brings to life many of the major cases that marked those years (the trial of Marshal Ney, the trial of the three Englishmen who helped La Valette escape, the trial of Béranger's songs, the trial of Marshal Brune). We will highlight a passage from his plea for Bavoux, a law professor dismissed in 1819 because it was claimed that during his criminal law lectures he had criticized royal power: "It is granted that a professor may criticize the laws; however, it is claimed that this criticism must be extremely moderate, and that it admits neither rigor of expression nor fervor of feeling." Dupin endeavors to demonstrate that, on the contrary, legal scholarship must be free because it is from discussion that the progress of laws arises. This provides a useful foundation for the now-recognized constitutional principle.
