Louis-Étienne Jousserandot (11 May 1813[1] – 26 April 1887[1]) was a 19th-century French lawyer, journalist and writer.

[2] Aa amator of the game of dominoes, Berthoud was a member of the club of Dominotiers [fr] founded circa 1838 in Paris by the sculptor Dantan le Jeune.

[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.
