A brilliant contemporary of Cujas was Charles Dumoulin, whose famous Commentaries on the Customs of Paris earned for him the appellation of the French Papinian, and effected for the customary law what Cujas had done for the Roman law.

These great writers retain their place as the fathers of French jurisprudence and their works are still quoted as of the highest authority.
