In the Spain that rose up against Napoleon two systems of French justice coexisted. From 3 May 1808, Murat employed a speedy military justice, the inheritance of revolutionary responses to popular resistance. On his side, King Joseph established civil tribunals, more concerned with legality and moderation, than the extraordinary Criminal Juntas. This article explores the difficult and complex relationship between the two ‘justices’ in the setting of occupied Andalucia.
