Charles Aubry (1803-1883) was a French legal scholar and magistrate who taught law at Strasbourg from 1833 to 1871 before serving as a judge on France's Court of Cassation from 1872 to 1878. With Charles Frederic Rau he wrote the Cours de droit civil francais (1839-46), the first comprehensive systematic treatment of French civil law to depart from the article-by-article structure of the Code civil, drawing on German legal concepts and remaining in print through a seventh edition issued in the 1960s and 1970s.
