Summary: "Souvenirs de la Cour d'Assises" by André Gide is a reflective account written in the early 20th century. This work presents an introspective exploration of the judicial system, emphasizing the complexities and contradictions within the justice process. The narrative centers around the experiences of the author as juror, detailing the various trials he witnesses and the ethical dilemmas surrounding concepts of guilt and innocence.
