- Master's Degree in Judicial Administration
Academic Director: Christophe Albiges
The Master’s program in Judicial Commissioner, within the Justice, Litigation, and Procedures track, was initially established in partnership with the Regional Chamber of Judicial Officers. The program offers an in-depth theoretical and practical exploration of the various subjects directly related to the work of a judicial commissioner.The courses offered during the first year of the “Justice, Trials, and Procedures” track are designed to provide a common foundation of knowledge in preparation for specialization in the second year (M2). This track allows students to acquire new knowledge, particularly in civil law, procedural law, and private international law.
The second year of the program is designed, on the one hand, to provide in-depth academic training in civil procedure and enforcement proceedings and, on the other hand, to offer specific preparation for the various written and oral exams required for admission to the professional training program for judicial officers, as provided for by Decree No. 2019-1185 of November 15, 2019. During this second year of the Master’s program, students have the option to choose an apprenticeship track by joining a judicial commissioner’s office.
Objectives
The goal is to provide optimal preparation for students who wish to pass the entrance exam for the initial vocational training program to become a judicial officer.
