2.The French National School for the Judiciary has opened via EJTN Catalogue of Members activities the following three activities:
- Webinar on “Domestic violence” to be held 26 to 28 April 2021:
Under the supervision of Françoise GUYOT, Honorary magistrate specialised in domestic violence.
Domestic violence exists in all societies. It is an issue that necessarily comes up in legal systems which often have to deal with this type of violence in a variety of disputes, both civil and criminal.
Faced with this large-scale phenomenon, judges and prosecutors need a common core of knowledge in order to understand the mechanisms behind this violence and the systemic responses that can be implemented.
The aim of this training is to offer a broad view of violence committed against women, in particular the ones committed by their partner.
French legislation on protection against domestic violence will be presented, and in particular the most recent initiatives. The course will also address the psychological and/or sociological mechanisms involved in such violence, the institutional framework and partnerships for taking care of the women who are victims of it, as well as the criminal and jurisdictional policies that can be considered. The handling of the offenders and the place of children in such proceedings will also be studied.
Agenda: available as attached in English and French
Web page : CM/2021/137
Languages: French, English
Training audience: judges and prosecutors, social workers, any professional interested in the issue

- Webinar on “Ethics and the rule of law”, to be held 17 to 21 May 2021 :
Under the supervision of Chantal BUSSIERE, Honorary First President, former member of the Conseil supérieur de la magistrature – The High Council for the Judiciary, and Jean-Marie HUET, Honorary General Prosecutor, former member of the Conseil supérieur de la magistrature – The High Council for the Judiciary.
This session will examine the principles of independence and impartiality that should govern the action of judges in a democratic system, enabling them to respond to the trust that the public places in them. While the system must guarantee judges the means to perform their duties in accordance with these principles, they must also be accountable. In addition to sanctions, judicial ethics must also be approached through the prism of positive ethics, i.e. the dissemination of rules and values to guide judges in their actions.
The session will be built around the following activities: presentations of the main actors in this field and networks working on these issues at international level; theoretical and comparative law perspective; workshops on practical cases.
