Alfred Dreyfus, l'honneur d'un patriote ([Alfred Dreyfus, the Honor of a Patriot] Duclert,Vincent, 2006) & De la Justice dans l'affaire Dreyfus([Justice in the Dreyfus Affair] Cour de cassation, 2006) are two books that commemorate Dreyfus's 1906 rehabilitation, providing rich documentation of the trials & appeals of the French Jewish Army captain falsely accused & secretly condemned for treason. Details of the affair are sketched. A reexamination of the events evokes the flaws of an immature constitutional democracy & corrects the legends of suspicion & heroism that have displaced an accurate understanding of the Dreyfus case & its importance. E. Taylor

"L'arrestation en octobre 1894 d'un officier d'artillerie israélite, le capitaine Alfred Dreyfus, est le point de départ de ce qui sera nommé l'Affaire. Dans une France où le prestige de l'armée est immense, nourri par la force du sentiment national, le traumatisme de 1871 et les premiers pas de l'alliance de la République avec la Russie du tsar, la presse en plein essor s'empare de cette histoire d'espionnage. Les péripéties, faites de rebondissements, de coups de théâtre et de manoeuvres souterraines, semblent écrites par un auteur de ces romans-feuilletons dont l'époque est avide. Elles passionnent une opinion publique frappée par la force des interventions des intellectuels et des politiques, Zola, Clemenceau, Jaurès, ou encore Barrès dans le camp opposé. Le récit foisonnant de la condamnation et de la réhabilitation d'un innocent, sans cesse précisé par les recherches des historiens, garde tout son intérêt. Au-delà, l'Affaire éclaire les ressorts et les contradictions de la société française de la Belle époque. Elle amène à saisir les logiques qui poussent des acteurs individuels ou collectifs, des institutions ou des groupements informels, à rester en retrait ou à intervenir, de multiples manières, pour ou contre la révision du procès d'un officier jusqu'alors inconnu. Elle conduit à s'interroger sur leurs motivations politiques, religieuses et idéologiques. L'affaire Dreyfus enfin laisse une trace après la réhabilitation de sa principale victime. La mémoire de l'Affaire, de la Grande Guerre aux événements d'Algérie est complexe, contrastée, parfois difficile à saisir. Elle constitue un autre riche objet d'analyse."--Page 4 of cover

A departure from traditional procedural concepts was launched by the adoption of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. One of the major innovations instituted which diminishes the time required for litigation is the pre-trial con ference. This conference between the adversary lawyers and the judge delimits the issues in an action, disposing of un contested issues, fixing the essential points, and thus often pre paring a case for settlement. Though a practical and effective procedure, the full rewards have yet to be reaped. The rela tive newness of the pre-trial conference and the unequal impact of the expanded litigation have limited its country-wide adop tion. Pre-trial procedure recognizes the current conception of a lawsuit: one free from surprise, with all triable issues exposed prior to the courtroom.—Ed.

Annotation In this analysis of racialism in late-nineteenth-century France, antisemitism is studied not in isolation but in its social context, as an indicator and symptom of profound social change. As anticapitalism, for example, antisemitism expressed hostility to modern economic forms and 'the rule of money'; as a kind of socialism, it expressed opposition to the establishment without calling the social hierarchy into question; as a kind of nationalism and as racialism, it created a sense of belonging, in opposition to the Jews and to other supposedly alien groups within French society. Other aspects studied in the book are the religious, the sexual, and the cultural and intellectual, in which antisemitism again acted as the vehicle for the expression of the fears inspired by and in reaction to the experience of rapid change, which was seen as a fundamental decadence. Always the supposed action of the Jews supplied an explanation of otherwise inexplicable phenomena. Analysis of involvement in the Dreyfus Affair, which dramatized antisemitism and gave it new appeal and legitimacy, and of the antisemitic movement and its activities, indicates which social groups were particularly attracted to antisemitism: students, the clergy and Catholics generally, shopkeepers, army officers, members of the liberal professions, and the aristocracy. In each case, particular anxieties and grievances were articulated through a common ideology. There is little evidence that antisemitism was prompted by any experience of actual co-existence with any Jewish communities, except in the east of France; the choice of Jews as scapegoats has, rather, historical and religious explanations. Antisemitism at this time was propagated by 'intellectuals' through newspapers, pamphlets, and books; the new cultural media were used to fashion an abstract ideology from much older folk beliefs. The antisemitic movement of the time had no coherent programme. It did advocate various measures, culminating in extermination, against the Jews, but this was rhetoric, not practical policy
