Abstract
This text is a review of Thami Lasry's State doctorate thesis in private law, "La justice répressive au Maroc: dépendance et modèle protectoral," defended at the Faculty of Law of Casablanca on 18 July 1989. The reviewed work analyzes Moroccan criminal (repressive) justice in both its institutions and its evolution, assessing protectorate-era legislation and its post-independence continuation. A preliminary chapter examines the pre-protectorate juridical situation, marked by legal and political imbalance (Bled Siba / Bled El Makhzen) and the duality of the Muslim and Berber legal orders. The thesis is then organized in two parts—a systematic dependence and a juridical dependence—demonstrating the correlation between current criminal institutions and the protectorate model, notably through the 1953 reforms, the 1959 code of criminal procedure, and the 1962 penal code. The reviewer underscores the work's scientific value in illuminating the genesis and mechanisms of Moroccan criminal policy and the legal acculturation it reveals.
