Hauriou, Maurice-Jean-Claude-Eugène

▪ French political scientist
born August 17, 1856, Ladiville, France
died March 12, 1929, Toulouse

      French political scientist and educator whose theoretical work on public law contributed to the development of French administrative law.

      A professor of law at Toulouse (1883–1929), Hauriou proposed a theory of institutions that defined the state as a corporate institution designed to protect civil life and liberty. He defended the “individualistic order” of private enterprise and private property and helped create legal procedures to protect citizens from undue administrative actions.

      His major works on administrative, public, and constitutional law include Précis of Administrative Law (1892), Principles of Public Law (1910 and 1916), and Précis of Constitutional Law (1923).
