"Les Gens de Justice" is a series of lithographs created by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). This body of work, produced mainly in the 1840s, offers a satirical look at the legal profession and judicial system of 19th-century France. Daumier, known for his social commentary on various aspects of French society, turned his critical eye and wit towards lawyers, judges, and the courtroom environment, exposing the corruption, incompetence, and often farcical nature of legal proceedings of his time.

The series consists of approximately 40 lithographs, which were initially published in the French newspaper "Le Charivari." Daumier's work was part of the larger "Caricaturana" series, which included other themes as well. "Les Gens de Justice" stands out for its incisive humor and the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with a few deft strokes. The lithographs feature a range of characters from the justice system, including pompous attorneys, drowsy magistrates, and bewildered defendants, all depicted in exaggerated scenarios that highlight the absurdity and often the injustice inherent in the legal processes of the time.

Daumier's work was not without risk; his sharp critique of government officials and societal figures led to legal troubles, including a six-month prison sentence in 1832 for his depiction of King Louis-Philippe as "Gargantua." Despite such challenges, he continued to produce art that was both politically engaged and artistically innovative. "Les Gens de Justice" remains a significant contribution to the history of political and social caricature, reflecting Daumier's enduring legacy as a master of the genre and a keen observer of the human condition.

The series is now held in various collections around the world and is considered an important example of Daumier's work, offering insight into the artist's techniques, the political climate of the time, and the enduring themes of justice and societal critique.
