Presentation and acknowledgements


The Roger Errera archives have been in the process of being catalogued since 2018 at the French national archives (Archives nationales) (Fonds Roger Errera, sous-série 122AJ) at Pierrefitte-sur-Seine. This is a result of the hard work and dedication of Mme Isabelle Chave, conservateur en chef du patrimoine, Mme Nicole Even, conservateur en chef honoraire du patrimoine, Mme Marie Ranquet, conservateur du patrimoine, M. Samuel Gibiat, conservateur général du patrimoine, and M. Arnaud Romont, chargé d’études documentaires, adjoint à la responsable du pôle de l’Exécutif (1789-1870), des Assemblées et du contrôle de l’Etat (Département de l’Exécutif et du Législatif, Direction des fonds, Archives nationales). I, and my two sons, are very grateful for their excellent welcome since 2016 and their guidance and help throughout this time. We would like to thank M. Arnaud Romont, in particular, for his ongoing commitment to the cataloguing of these archives since 2016.

The current update of the website rogererrera.fr, which Roger Errera himself created in 2007, includes all of the original elements. In this current update I have separated out the published works of Roger Errera (▶︎Published works) from his documents, which are to my knowledge unpublished (▶︎Unpublished works). I have created this list from the personal archives which he left and from the information gathered progressively during the compilation and description of the 1250 archive files given to the Archives nationales at the end of 2017. I added to it the list of works published by the Calmann-Lévy publishing house in the “Diaspora” collection, which he founded in 1970-71 and for which he was the managing editor until 2014 (▶︎The “Diaspora” Collection). The tributes to him made between 2014 and 2016 (▶︎Tributes to Roger Errera) complete the collection.

My intention when updating the website was to give the widest possible overview of his interests and concerns, as both a lawyer and a citizen. Whilst continuing to practise his profession as conseiller d’Etat, he remained continuously active in many areas: Reading Notes and creation of databases; teaching; public delegations; participation in numerous French, European and international institutions and organisations; participation in numerous colloquiums, conferences and meetings; publications; consultancy; expertise; testimonies and publishing. The list of his written works, unpublished documents and publications which he edited, demonstrate the breadth and diversity of his interests and his contacts and connections in France, Europe, the US, Israel and beyond. This perspective is a testimony to how he developed and deepened his thoughts, analyses and public expression, alongside the constants of his thinking and beliefs, even before 1960 and right up to 2014.

This collection is certainly not complete in regard to his published and unpublished works, nor does it pretend to be. Therefore, his quarterly column on French administrative case-law published in Public Law from 1986 to 2007 is not shown here, except with the odd exception. I was unable to identify the source or date of several printed and published works for which I have the original and/or the handwritten or typed version. Therefore, I am missing some precise dates and places, and even some sources, for unpublished works, in the materials that I have gathered and used. Nevertheless, I hope that this work will be useful in its current form for those who visit the website and are interested in the works and personality of Roger Errera.

The core of Roger Errera’s library of legal works has been donated to the Institut Max Planck de droit procedural réglementaire international et européen in Luxembourg in 2020. [>lien]

I would also like to thank here those people who have guided, advised, helped and supported me since 2014:

• Marc Olivier Baruch who put me in contact with Isabelle Chave at the Archives nationales.
• Martine de Boisdeffre and Christian Vigouroux at the Conseil d’Etat.
• Emmanuelle Flament-Guelfucci at the library of the Conseil d’Etat.

• To Laure Schulz and Antoine Errera, to Elise and Vincent Errera, for their effective presence and affection.

Finally, I would like to thank the following for their contribution to the production of this website:
• Alain Choukroun, graphic designer, for his commitment, patience and creativity,
• Antoine Errera who competently managed the initial website from 2007 to 2020,
• Anneliese Garvie who diligently translated the website into English.
