Maurice Hauriou was a French jurist and sociologist whose writings shaped French administrative law in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Hauriou taught public law at the Toulouse School of Law at the Toulouse Capitole University beginning in 1888, and constitutional law from 1920 on. His work gave French administrative law a new dogmatic basis, including through his textbooks Précis de droit administratif et de droit public général, Précis élémentaire de droit administratif, Précis de droit constitutionnel and Principes de droit public.
