    “Your presence on these benches is a fact that cannot go unnoticed. It is more than a school matter; it is, in a way, a political one. Just a few months ago, you arrived in France, in close ranks, hundreds of thousands a month. And you rushed to the front lines in a magnificent surge. You covered yourselves in glory at Saint-Mihiel. In ranks no less tightly packed, after having conquered, after having secured the triumph of that liberty you came to help us defend, a few hundred of you come to sit on these benches, a peaceful army whose only weapons are paper and pencils! After having fought to save the law and the liberty that France symbolized, you want to know how France understands this law and this liberty for which so many of your people and so many of ours have succumbed. You will learn this by listening to the lessons of teachers who are justly proud to introduce you to our legal, political, and economic civilization.” These experts will tell you how France is governed, how we understand and practice political liberty, the mother and foundation of all others. This is the great problem of the organization of democracy. By explaining the fundamental principles of French criminal law in their relation to individual liberties, they will teach you how the citizen is protected in his life, his honor, his property, and his liberty when he appears in court. A formidable problem in which you will understand our concern to be just even towards those accused of having broken the law. (excerpt from the foreword).
