This article discusses how the English judicial system is represented in the work of Charles Dickens, focusing on the novel Great Expectations. The fact that Dickens drew a very critical picture of the entire administration of justice in England is something that has already been noted by several commentators on his work. Our objective is to show how one of the results of this criticism of Law and its institutions would be to demystify the common sense spread since the 18th century in continental Europe that the English Constitution would have managed to build a free society. For this, we seek to present biographical aspects, inventory part of the criticism specialized in Dickens and treat the author's work in the light of discussions about the English example made in the early 19th century.
