Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POTHIER, ROBERT JOSEPH (1699-1772) ,
French
  jurist, was born at Orleans on the 9th of January 1699. He studied law for the purpose of qualifying for the magistracy, and was appointed in 1720 judge of the presidial
court
  of Orleans, thus following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. This post he held for fifty-two years. He paid particular attention to the correction and co-ordination of the text of the Pandects, his Pandectae Justinianae in novum ordinem digestae (Paris and Chartres, 17481752) being a classic in the study of Roman law. In 1749 he was made professor of law in the university of Orleans. He wrote many learned monographs on
French
  law, and much of his
work
  was incorporated almost textually in the French Code Civil. He died at Orleans on the 2nd of
March
  1772. Of his numerous
treatises
  the following may be specially mentioned: Traite des obligations (1761); Du Contrat de vente (1762); Du Contrat de
bail
  (1764); Du Contrat de societe (1765); Des Contrats de pret de consomption (1766); Du Contrat de depot et de mandat (1766); Du Contrat de nantissement (1767), &c. His works have several times been published in collected form (edited by Giffrein, 18201824; by Dupin, 18231825, and by Bugnet, 2nd ed. 11 vols. 18611862).
See Dupin, Dissertation sur la vie et les ouvrages de
Pothier
  (Paris, 1825), and
Fremont
 , Vie de R. J.
Pothier
  (Orleans, 185o).
