    “The French government took advantage of the centenary of the capture of Algiers to assess France’s activities in Algeria over the past century. In this assessment, significant attention had to be paid to legislative work. Four jurists, all affiliated with the Faculty of Law in Algiers, undertook to describe it. They divided the task as follows. In two chapters totaling 152 pages, entitled first: The Government and Administration of Algeria, and second: One Hundred Years of Algerian Legislation, Mr. Louis Milliot outlines the evolution of modes of government and administration, the functioning of the legislative branch, and the conditions under which metropolitan laws are applicable to Algeria. Mr. Marcel Morand addressed the judicial institutions, complex institutions due to the jurisdiction reserved for indigenous courts in matters of personal status. Mr. Frédéric Godin focused on the land tenure system in Algeria from a legal perspective.” It shows, through slow but continuous work, how the metropolis succeeded in replacing communal ownership, the preferred system of Islamic law, with that of individual property ownership—an essential condition for economic progress—in most of the territory. In *The Evolution of the Customs Regime in Algeria Since 1830*, Maurice Gaffiot outlines the stages of France's commercial policy in Algeria, which, starting from legislation of a colonial nature, culminated in the law of April 13, 1928, subjecting Algeria to the same customs regulations as France itself. (...) Their work is nonetheless scholarly; if they do not say everything, they nevertheless say only what is true. Colonial subjects from all countries will be grateful to them for having published a clear and user-friendly work, which constitutes an excellent introduction to a thorough exposition of Algerian administration and law. » (Charles Lannoy, Belgian Review of Philology and History, fasc. 1-2/1931, p. 296 et seq.).
