Biography

Chabroud worked as a lawyer in Vienne, Isère. On January 4th, 1789, he was elected to the Estates General by the province of Dauphiné.

He was in charge of the report of the file processed by the Châtelet upon the events of October 5th and 6th. The Duke of Orléans and the Count of Mirabeau were implicated by the report, but were exonerated by the National Constituent Assembly after a vivid discussion.

On April 9th, 1790, Chabroud was called to the presidency of the Constituent Assembly.

On March 4th, 1791, he was named a deputy to the Court of Cassation for the Isère department. He sat in the Court of Cassation until Year V, then he moved to Paris and became a consulting lawyer in the Court of Cassation, the Cour des prises and the Council of State on July 8th, 1806.
