The Defense in the Dock

While in exile in London and then in Algiers, the French Government led by General de Gaulle discussed the question of legal purges to be organized in the liberated territories. Professional purges were one of the building blocks of the multiple-stage process known generally as the épuration. This chapter focuses on a very peculiar sort of épuration: the professional purge of lawyers. It aims to address such professional processes from a sociological perspective while paying attention to the legal dimension. This professional case is a concrete example of the effects of political transitions in the social fabric
