Eugène Guérin (French pronunciation: [øʒɛn ɡeʁɛ̃]; 27 July 1849 - 25 April 1929) was a French politician who served twice as Minister of Justice and served as a member of the French Senate for Vaucluse for nearly 30 years.[1]
Guérin was born on 27 July 1849 in Carpentras, France to Pierre Barthélemy Guérin (1808-1868) and Rose Dupuy (1815-1855). He studied in Grenoble before enrolling at the Faculty of Law of Paris. His studies however were interrupted by the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Guérin temporarily halted his studies and joined the Vaucluse mobiles, seeing action at the Loire and during the Eastern campaigns of the war. Following the end of the war in 1871, Guérin resumed his studies and graduated that same year with a doctorate in law. Guérin was admitted to the bar in Paris and Carpentras in 1875. He married Césarée Madeleine Marie Thérèse Pascal (1859-1936) on 20 October 1880 in Aubagne. The couple went on to have seven children.[2]
