Its aim is to show the incarnations and materializations of Law through several themes:

  • portraits of contemporary lawyers;
  • headwear and costumes;
  • as well as iconic books on law or promoting the unity of law.

The joint documentation service of the University of Montpellier, which is hosting the exhibition, will present works by renowned Montpellier-based jurists such as P. Placentinus, J.-J.-R. de Cambacérès, E. Antonelli, and J. Calais-Auloy.

After your visit, mortarboards, caps, gowns, togas, epitogues, and rabat will hold no secrets for you!
