    “In the twelve contributions gathered by the Center for Historical Studies on Crime and Deviance (University of Burgundy), the authors attempted to highlight the unique nature of the offenses committed by these personnel and the reactions of the justice system and legal professionals to this delinquency. […] This high degree of professional seriousness and morality, however, did not always materialize. In their contributions, Benoît Garnot and Hervé Piant recall the accusations of incompetence or greed leveled by 18th-century figures against magistrates of lower courts, and even against certain judges of the sovereign courts. Justice granted to the state was not immune to such criticism, quite the contrary, particularly in the 17th century… […] The three papers on police failings since the end of the 19th century echo, in more than one respect, those devoted to judges; It is the same individual probity and the same seriousness in the cases handled that are required of magistrates and police officers, because the social stake of their respective functions is the same. The republican context in which these studies are situated, however, gives them a certain originality. […] The situation of notaries differs quite markedly from those preceding it, because their role is neither to maintain order nor to punish offenses. Yet, requirements of individual probity are imposed on members of this profession: under the Ancien Régime, the civil function of notaries, the importance of their acts, transformed their faults, whether intentional or not, into offenses sanctioned either by the courts or by their “community”; In Dijon, in particular, the notaries, organized into a community under the authority of a “syndic”, jealously guarded the preservation of the “nobility” of their profession” (Hervé Leuwers, Revue du Nord, no. 332/1999, p. 864).
