ABSTRACT
Can civil codes be reformed ‘like any other piece of legislation?’ A comparison of the French and Quebec experiences illustrates the methodological challenges that arose from civil code reform projects for the Civil Code of Québec during the last two Centuries. It also reveals the complex relationship that jurists have with ‘their’ own civil code, in a civil law context.
