Palais de justice de Paris. Ses chroniqueurs et ses dessinateurs (Conférence de Frédéric Chauvaud)

The Paris Courthouse through the eyes of court reporters and illustrators (circa 1880–circa 1940). Lecture by Frédéric Chauvaud (Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Poitiers, full member of the Criham), as part of the lecture series "In the Spotlight: A History of Justice in Paris – People of the Law," presented at the Archives of Paris in partnership with the Paris History Committee. From the 1880s until the late 1930s, court reporters, who preferred to call themselves "tribunalists," gradually invented a new way of reporting on the workings of the justice system, and in particular, the criminal courts. These "tribunalists" of the Parisian legal press, organized into an association, launched various publications.
