Abstract

This chapter presents the first results of a prosopographical study on Belgian colonial magistrates. After a presentation of sources and their limits, it comes back on the exploitation of data arranged around four moments of the professional path of the magistrate: recruitment, training, career and the return in Belgium. This general analysis is followed by a focus on the unusual career of Antoine Sohier, colonial magistrate who became president at the Court of cassation.
