    After Louis XI, Henry III attempted to reform the ordinances of the Kings of France by codifying them. He entrusted this task to President Brisson, who completed it very quickly. However, the turbulent circumstances meant that this text was not registered by the parliaments and, consequently, did not acquire any positive legal force. Nevertheless, it remains the first example of an attempt to codify modern law, and as such, an essential work. It is divided into 20 books, among which Books II to IX, devoted to judicial procedure and the organization of justice, Book XI, devoted to universities, Book XVIII, devoted to the King's Court, and Book XVII, devoted to the Crown's domain and rights, are particularly noteworthy.
