Born in Varzy in 1783, he studied at the Paris School of Law, was called to the bar in 1800 and awarded a doctorate in law in 1802. Dupin published numerous legal works and gained a reputation as a learned jurist and a skilful lawyer. During the Hundred Days, he was elected to the Chamber of Representatives for the constituency of Château-Chinon. After the Second Restoration, he rose to prominence by defending political cases. He defended Marshal Ney and other prominent soldiers of the Empire, as well as newspaper editors and writers prosecuted for offences of opinion. In 1827, he returned to politics. He was elected as a deputy for Mamers and then re-elected for the Nièvre constituency in 1830. A close associate of Louis-Philippe, he served as a Minister without Portfolio, then as Attorney General at the Court of Cassation. He was re-elected as a Member of Parliament for the Nièvre without interruption until 1851. Dupin presided over the National Assembly from 1832 to 1840 and from 1849 to 1851. Following the coup d’état of 2 December, he resigned from his post as Attorney General. In 1857, he rallied to the regime, which enabled him to resume his duties, which he retained until his death in Paris in 1865. - Bibliography of the author at the end of the text.
