| Summary | "Laki on kuollut — mutta tuomari on elävä" by Anatole France is a philosophical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of justice, morality, and the role of law through a series of dialogues among characters who discuss the nature and implications of legal systems and their enforcement. It delves into the inherent contradictions within the law and its relationship to society. The story unfolds through conversations primarily between Jean Marteau and other characters, who discuss their insights and critiques about the law and justice. Marteau argues that the law, while ancient and often brutal, maintains a semblance of order in society. He reflects on how judges often misinterpret justice, showcasing their shared moral dilemmas with criminals, particularly in the context of poverty and desperation. Interspersed throughout are anecdotes highlighting the misfortunes of those caught in the legal system, particularly from marginalized classes, and a poignant tale of a young servant imprisoned for a seemingly trivial theft, emphasizing the harsh realities faced by the underprivileged and the failure of a rigid legal system to adapt to human circumstances.
