PREPARATION FOR THE E.N.M. EXAM (Admission to the National School for the Judiciary)

To prepare students for the first entrance exam for the National School of Magistrates (ENM), the Faculty of Law and Political Science in Montpellier offers, through its Institute of Judicial Studies (IEJ), a program designed to help students acquire the methodology required for the various exam sections and to update their knowledge in accordance with the exam’s requirements.
The courses are taught in close collaboration by university professors and judges.
The preparation program consists of lectures, presentations prepared by the candidates, and exercises in the form of practice sessions for the written and oral exams.

Organize classes from September through May focused on the written portions of the competitive exam, with a particular emphasis on the general knowledge section.

From September through December, students take a weekly in-class exam under the same conditions as the actual exam, with the different exam sections rotating each week.

From January through May, a practice exam under actual exam conditions is held during the first week of each month.

Once eligibility has been determined (in late July), preparatory sessions and practice sessions for the technical oral exams and the comprehensive oral exam are held from August through December.

Thanks to a partnership with the Montpellier Court of Appeals, students who did not complete a court internship during their university studies are offered a position as a judicial assistant for one day a week from January through May.

A tutoring program has also been established, with one instructor responsible for 5 to 7 students.
