Дело А. А. Лопухина в особом присутствии правительствующего сената. Стенографический отчет. С.-Петербург, типография Р. И. Арциви, 1910. С.116. Из библиотеки А. Я. Пассовера.
Суд проходил в марте 1909 года. Бывший директор департамента полиции А. А. Лопухин обвиняется в том, что выдал провокатора Е. Ф. Азефа партии социалистов-революционеров. А. Я. Пассовер защищал Лопухина на этом суде. Суд присудил Лопухина (1 мая 1909 г.) к 5 годам каторжных работ с лишением всех прав состояния. Решением Общего собрания кассационных департаментов правительствующего сената, в виду смягчающих вину обстоятельств, каторга была заменена ссылкой на поселение.
