This dissertation examines the creation, evolution, and function of admiralty courts situated in the French colonies of North America and the West Indies from the late seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth century. The admiralties were specialized tribunals whose jurisdiction extended not only to legal cases concerning the law of the sea but also to the administrative regulation of nautical traffic. First created in the ports of metropolitan France as a means of asserting royal sovereignty over maritime affairs, admiralty courts were established in the colonies in 1717 following a long jurisdictional battle. Engaging with underutilized judicial sources located in French and Canadian archives, this project tracks the development of the colonial admiralties from wartime prize courts to administrative institutions responsible for integrating the colonies into a shared trans-Atlantic economic space while simultaneously maintaining them as separate legal zones subject to special rules relating to foreign trade, debt obligations, Indigenous relations, citizenship, and slavery. In such a way, the colonial admiralty courts served as the primary vehicle through which the French monarchy asserted its sovereign legal authority over ports and seascapes of the Americas. This study reconfigures our understanding of how early modern empires were constructed by centring the analysis on law and judicial institutions as a vehicle of colonization, staking imperial claims to maritime as well as territorial space.

520 $a Cette these examine la creation, l'evolution et la fonction des cours d'amiraute situees dans les colonies francaises d'Amerique du Nord et des Antilles de la fin du XVIIe siecle a la fin du XVIIIe siecle. Les amirautes etaient des tribunaux specialises dont la competence s'etendait non seulement aux affaires juridiques concernant le droit de la mer, mais aussi a la reglementation administrative du trafic maritime. D'abord creees dans les ports de la France metropolitaine afin d'affirmer la souverainete royale sur les affaires maritimes, les cours d'amiraute ont ete etablies dans les colonies en 1717 a la suite d'une longue bataille juridictionnelle. S'appuyant sur des sources judiciaires sous-utilisees conservees dans les archives francaises et canadiennes, ce projet retrace l'evolution des amirautes coloniales qui sont passees de tribunaux de prises de guerre a celui d'institutions administratives responsables de l'integration des colonies dans un espace economique transatlantique commun, tout en les maintenant en tant que zones juridiques distinctes soumises a des regles specifiques en matiere de commerce exterieur, d'obligations d'endettements, de relations avec les Autochtones, de citoyennete et d'esclavage. Ainsi, les cours d'amiraute coloniales ont constitue le principal moyen par lequel la monarchie francaise a affirme son autorite juridique souveraine sur les ports et les mers des Ameriques. Cette etude donne un eclairage nouveau a notre comprehension de la maniere dont les premiers empires modernes ont ete construits en centrant l'analyse sur le droit et les institutions judiciaires en tant que vecteur de colonisation, etablissant des revendications imperiales sur les espaces maritime et territorial.
