Presentation

The Master 2 in Criminal Sanctions and Sentence Enforcement offers advanced training in a rapidly expanding branch of criminal law, at the heart of constantly evolving legislation and case law, characterized by the development of numerous highly technical and sometimes recent disputes: judicial litigation with the creation in 2004 of new courts for the enforcement of sentences, administrative litigation with the increase in appeals against decisions by the prison administration, litigation before the European Court of Human Rights relating to conditions of detention in prisons, constitutional litigation with the development of QPCs (priority preliminary rulings on constitutionality), etc.
