Gui-Jean-Baptiste Target (17 December 1733 - 9 September 1806) was a French lawyer and politician. ==Biography== Born in Paris, Target was the son of a lawyer, and was himself a lawyer to the Parlement of Paris. He acquired a great reputation as a lawyer, less by practice in the courts than in a consultative capacity, and served the ancien régime as member of a committee to revise the civil and criminal laws of the kingdom. He strenuously opposed the "''parlement Maupeou''", devised by Chancellor Maupeou to replace the old judiciary bodies in 1771, refusing to plead before it, an act that earned him the sobriquet of the "Virgin of the palace". He was counsel for Louis René Edouard, cardinal de Rohan in the "affair of the diamond necklace". In 1785, he was elected to the Académie française. He contributed to the development of the Edict of Tolerance signed at Versailles by Louis XVI in 1787. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gui-Jean-Baptiste Target」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
