Charles Jean Baptiste Florian Faider ( born September 6, 1811 in Trieste, † April 6, 1893 in Brussels) was a Belgian lawyer and politician. In his capacity as a lawyer he made through his many publications for the development of an independent Belgian law tradition.
Life
After studying at the Université de Liège and the Reich University of Leuven Faider practiced first as a lawyer until he entered the Belgian civil service. In 1836 he married Josephine Augustine Mersch, but in 1858 died at the age of 49 years. The couple had two children, Charlotte Marie Augustine and Amédée Marie Hippolyte Faider who, like his father struck a legal career and brought it up to the first President of the Appeal Court in Brussels.

Faider was General lawyer at the Brussels Court of Appeals, in 1844 and since 1851 the Supreme Court, entered October 31, 1852 as Minister of Justice in the Cabinet de Brouckère, he received his former position after his resignation on May 7, 1853.
He left a large number of written work to all sorts of legal work fields. The main focus was his work on the Belgian law and, in particular thanks to its elaborations to the Belgian Court of Cassation. By demanding that the judgments of both the positive law and the social changes in Belgian society should be fair, he helped the Belgian nation in the development of a specific legal tradition against France.
