After Maximilien graduated in 1781 from Louis-le-Grand College with his degree in law, he set up a house in Arras, Paris, with one of his sisters. There he went out on his own and became a lawyer to pay for his new house with his sister. He soon made a name for himself, and was appointed to the role of judge. He practice at the Episcopale, a court with jurisdiction over the provostship at the diocese. With his new privet practice, he had a very good income.

After he was appointed judge, he was admitted to the Arras Academy for the advancement of the arts and science. He soon stood out again and became the chancellor of the Academy and later became president of the Academy. On the contrary that Maximilien Robespierre lived an isolated life, he often visited local nobles and mingled with the young people of the district. He entered many academic competitions, and his best place was first by the Academy of Metz, for his "Memoire sur les peines infamantes". This translates into "Report on degrading punishments." By 1788, Robespierre was well known for his writing and expression talent. With him as a lawyer representing the poor, he alarmed many high privileged classes with his many protests in his "Memoire pour le Sieur Dupond" against royal absolutism and arbitrary justice.
