Publications

Van Dievoet devoted his Latin thesis at the State University of Louvain in 1827 to ancient Belgian customs (De origine diversarum consuetudinum localium regni nostri). This work was a great success and was often cited in scholarly works and international works. In 1843, Adolphe Roussel commented on Van Dievoet's work in his Encyclopedia of Law: "In a remarkable thesis published in Leuven in 1827, Van Dievoet tried to find the origin of Belgian customs. Regrettably, he has not taken a position which provides new and ingenious views."{{citation needed|date=November 2014}}

Van Dievoet le porte avec aisance et légéreté. Il relève d’abord une opinion de M. De Berg, émise dans un mémoire couronné en 1783 par l’Académie, et soutient contre lui que le droit romain était en usage dans la Belgique, sous les empereurs : non seulement dans l’administration publique, mais dans les transactions privées. Cependant il observe que ce droit exerçait moins d’autorité dans l’île des Bataves. Il aborde ensuite son sujet aidé de MM. Savigny et Raepsaet. Le choix de ce sujet ne fait pas moins d’honneur à sa sagacité que la manière dont il l’a traité. "

Een kleine groep advocaten, onder leiding van meester Van Dievoet, nam in 1842 het initiatief. Van Dievoet, penningmeester van de Orde, stelde tijdens de zitting van 17 maart 1842 voor een bibliotheek op te richten in de raadzaal van de Orde, toegang te verlenen aan de leden van de balie en hen gebruik te laten maken van van de boeken voor hun pleidooien".
