Life

Jolly devoted himself since the age of sixteen first studies of mathematics and cameralistics before it at the universities since 1803 Gottingen and later in Heidelberg six years Law studied. In April 1808, Jolly took over the position of university secretary offered to him by Vice Rector Georg Arnold Heise and was elected as a member of the panel of judges. In 1810 he became the first university bailiff at Heidelberg University with the rights that every bailiff in Baden was entitled to. In 1818 he moved to the court in Mannheim and in 1819 became a member of the fiscal council with the title of government councilor. In 1821 he joined the Justice Section of the State Ministry and was appointed Ministerialrat in the Justice Department in 1822 and in the same year as government commissioner at the negotiations of the estates. In 1825 he was promoted to secret trainee and in 1828 to secret legation councilor in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Jolly devoted all his energy to modernizing the criminal justice system in Baden.
