"La Cour d’Assises, ses pompes et ses œuvres" by René Benjamin is a detailed exploration of the French judicial system, written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the complex interplay between law and society, examining both the grandeur and the absurdities of the court, particularly focusing on the Court of Assizes and its trials. Through its rich prose, the narrative investigates the emotional and moral weight of justice, often revealing the farcical aspects of legal proceedings. At the start of the book, the author sets the scene by painting a vivid picture of Paris, using imagery that describes the city as a tumultuous sea of stone. He introduces the Palais de Justice, a prominent monument symbolizing the power and structure of the legal system, contrasting its physical grandeur with the moral ambiguity often found within its walls. The narrative continues with an invitation to explore the inner workings of the Palais, where the author meticulously describes the environment and the actors involved in the judiciary. He characterizes the judges, lawyers, and the jury with sharp observations, foreshadowing the unfolding drama at the Court of Assizes, where societal values and personal turmoils converge on the legal battleground.
