Center for Judicial History

CHJ | UMR 8025
Humanities and social sciences Research unit Culture, societies, changing practices

The Center for Judicial History develops its scientific activity in the field of history of justice from the Ancien Régime to the present day. Institutions, judicial professions, sources of law and its codification, methods of conflict resolution, delinquency, penalties and prisons, the evolution of labor law, the place of justice in the colonial policies of the great Western powers, and the development of business law and commercial justice are some of the themes that we are interested in. Our research is structured around the generic theme of "Norms and Practices" divided into four main axes: Institutional and Procedural Norms and Practices; Commercial Norms and Practices; Social Norms and Practices; and Penal and Prison Norms and Practices. We also study the implementation of legal norms by the justice system, but also the influence that practice may have had on the definition or adaptation of norms.
