Louis-Étienne Jousserandot (11 May 1813[1] – 26 April 1887[1]) was a 19th-century French lawyer, journalist and writer. He was prefect of Pyrénées-Orientales then of Marne[1] under the French Third Republic.[2]
Aa amator of the game of dominoes, Berthoud was a member of the club of Dominotiers founded circa 1838 in Paris by the sculptor Dantan le Jeune. In 1848, Jousserandot wrote an 11-page epistle in honour of the Deminotiers. It is available on line on the site Gallica of the BNF.[3]
Le Médecin des pauvres, a novel published in 1861 by Xavier de Montépin, was the result of a real plagiarism from a book published in 1844, Le Diamant de la Vouivre by Louis Jousserandot who sued Xavier de Montépin. The latter being a famous writer and well in court and with many strong political support, his opponent could not succeed. Louis Jousserandot's claim was dismissed.
