Laurent L\u00e8guevaque was born in Toulouse, where, after studying law and psychology, he passed and obtained the entrance exam to the National School of the Judiciary. For thirteen years, he served as an investigating judge in various cities, including M\u00e2con and Tours.<\/p>\n
After a first thriller titled “Accus\u00e9, couchez-vous” (Gallimard), co-written with Michel Embareck, he received some reprimands from his superiors. On January 17, 2005, out of frustration, he slammed the door of his investigating chamber and explained himself in a narrative titled “Un juge s’en va,” followed by an essay “Plaidoyer pour le mensonge,” both of which became bestsellers.<\/p>\n
His latest book, “Plaidoyer pour le mensonge” (Deno\u00ebl), deals with the functioning of justice. Laurent L\u00e8guevaque reflects on this quest for truth, illustrated by the multiplication of expert opinions, scientific or otherwise. His conclusion is unequivocal: we must cherish the lie.<\/p>\n
This passion for writing continues to pursue him today, as, in addition to a book set to be published in October 2012 by Jean-Claude Latt\u00e9s (A “Dictionary of Lost Causes”), he earns a living writing scripts \u2013 primarily for France T\u00e9l\u00e9vision.<\/p>\n
He has recently published:<\/p>\n
Accus\u00e9, couchez-vous ! (Gallimard), 2003.<\/p>\n
Un juge s’en va (\u00e9ditions de l’Archipel), in 2005.<\/p>\n
Plaidoyer pour le mensonge (Deno\u00ebl), in 2006.<\/p>\n
Je ne parle pas aux femmes (l’\u00e9cailler du sud), in 2007.<\/p>\n
Justice \u00e0 tous les \u00e9tages (l’Archipel), in 2008.<\/p>\n
Lettre \u00e0 mon fils lui expliquant les excellentes raisons qu’il aura de boire (cherche-midi), in 2010.<\/p>\n
Manifeste contre les notaires (Max Milo \u00e9ditions), in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
