François Pollet


François Pollet was a lawyer from Douai, then in the County of Flanders.

Life

Pollet studied law at Leuven University and for a number of years became a lecturer in law at the University of Paris. He was then called to the bar, and returned to his native Douai, where he married and maintained a legal practice. He died young, leaving the incomplete manuscript of a study of Roman legal institutions. His work was later edited and put into print by his son-in-law, Philippe Broïde, a member of the city council of Douai.
