A fascinating true story, The Cassock and the Crown is based on trial transcripts, interviews with individuals involved in the case, and twenty-five years of archival research. It provides insight into Quebec culture in the 1920s and is a topical look, in light of recent celebrity trials, at the subjective nature of the judicial system when it deals with people in positions of prestige and power.

Jean Monet was born on March 31, 1932 in Saint-Jean, Quebec, into the family of Fabio and Anita (Deland) Monet.
Jean Monnet received his education at the University of Ottawa, where he got a Bachelor of Arts in 1953, and earned a Licentiate of Laws in 1956.
A Montreal tax attorney, Jean Monet has written a book for Canadian laypersons wishing to learn about the law of taxes and estates. It was originally published as five short volumes in French under the umbrella title of Vos biens. Votre deces et les impôts, between 1967 and 1974. In 1971 Monet’s work was translated into English and enlarged slightly as Your Assets, Death & Taxes. The book was further revised with the help of Stephen D. Hart and republished by Macmillan of Canada under the title Estate banning for Canadians.
Monet went on to write a nonfiction book on a very different subject. The Cassock and the Crown is a true-crime study based on an historic Canadian case. The story received major play in Canadian newspapers at the time, according to Beaver reviewer Chris Raible, and the Crown — i.e., the judge — refused the church’s motion to plead insanity. With a large segment of the Quebec public seeing the trial as an anti-Catholic show, and with forensic evidence at a relatively primitive stage of development, the trial ended in a hung jury.
Three more trials followed, “each with decreasing media interest,” Raible noted, with the last trial ending in an acquittal. Monet’s book follows the notion that the priest actually performed the crime of which he was accused. In Raible’s view, Monet created a crime book of high interest for what it says, or implies, about the sociology of its time and place.
Apart from his writing career, Jean Monet also worked as a lecturer in corporate and tax law at educational institutions and for legal organizations, including McGill University, University of Sherbrooke, Quebec Bar Association, Université de Montreal, Laval Université, Continuing Education Program of the Canadian Bar Association, and Canadian Institute of Certified Accountants.
