Only the pronouncement is authentic « Ladies and gentlemen, Hello everyone, Thank you for being here this morning at the Chancellery.It is a little over two months since I took up my post as Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice. Since the first day, I have been keen to meet all the actors and partners of justice in order to implement the mission entrusted to me by the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister: to bring justice closer to the litigant. , ensure and restore - when necessary - the confidence of citizens in the judicial institution. Initially, it was for me to draw up with my services an inventory My first observation is that of the lack of justice: too many courts do not yet have the human and material resources to operate under satisfactory conditions. I therefore fought for a significant increase in our budget from the outset, details of which you will soon know, and in this regard I would like to thank the Prime Minister from now on for the attention and support given to my requests. » Explained Eric Dupond-Moretti------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Minister fo Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti continues : « The second lesson from these first weeks of consultations is the commitment and enthusiasm of the majority of judges. But it is also, as many of us can see, the inertia of some, the reluctance to modernize the institution and the excesses of a culture of the self. What are the causes ? I have long expressed the idea that this corporatism, which takes justice away from citizens, was partly taking shape in the national school of the judiciary. And this despite the excellence of his teaching which I was given to apprehend at the invitation of his director, when I was a lawyer. » ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Dupond-Moretti acknowledges « After four years in this post, Mr. Olivier Leurent left his post and I would like to publicly pay tribute here to this great magistrate, to this great director. It is now my responsibility to propose the name of his successor to the President of the Republic. This is the reason why I have brought you together. This is the opportunity for me to talk to you about the future of school. It is a prestigious establishment created in 1958 and which trains approximately 350 magistrates each year, it is the breeding ground for the justice of tomorrow, and it is for this reason that it is the duty of the Minister of Justice to take an interest in it and suggest the areas for improvement that it deems necessary. The subject is of national interest. I put forward, long before being a Keeper of the Seals, the idea of “‹“‹abolishing this institution to transform it into a joint training school for judges and lawyers. Because I am convinced that quality justice cannot be delivered without the help of lawyers. » Eric Dupond Moretti stated.

ENM NATIONAL SCHOOL OF MAGISTRATES IS TO BE MODERNISED Eric Dupond Moretti quotes the leaving President of the National School of magistrature «  In this regard, this is what Olivier Leurent said when he took over the management of this school and gave his first speech to future magistrates: "The lawyer is not the magistrate's adversary but a partner who contributes to the work of justice; and the quality of the decision rendered also depends on the quality of the relationship that the magistrate has been able to forge with him “. I fully subscribe to it. He continues : « I said during my installation (NOR «As the new Minister of Justice taking over Nicole Belloubet »)  that I won't have time for a complete overhaul, but I'm certainly not giving up on opening this school further. Openness is first of all to break with outdated traditions, it is to break with the temptation to be isolated and between oneself. It is wanting to think and debate other than between peers. Efforts have already been made but they deserve to be amplified. Openness is again, reinforcing learning among future magistrates, of a true culture of the adversarial, being reminded here that justice can only be forged in the adversarial. » Eric Dupond Moretti, Minister fo Justice highlights a small nut not least detail about the National School of Magistrates that is rather of the magistracy: « Of course, when it comes to the implementation of the broad guidelines, nothing will be done without an essential and constructive dialogue with the board of directors, the pedagogical council and all members of the teaching staff. However, in a nutshell, I want to remind you that this school is not the school of magistrates but that of the magistracy. It must therefore be even more open to all those who contribute to the work of justice, and listen to the citizens who are confronted with it. Wanting to bring justice closer to the litigant without wanting to bring the national school of the judiciary closer to the litigant would make no sense. As the name suggests, it is also a national school. It must therefore be more open than ever to changes in our society, to the expectations of citizens, to new complexities. »

NATHALIE RORET VP OF THE PARIS BAR IS APPOINTED PDT OF NATIONAL SCHOOL OF MAGISTRATES Eric Dupond Moretti, Minister fo Justice, concludes his remarks : « In order to achieve these objectives, dear to all French people, I have decided to propose the name of the 17th director for the signature of the President of the Republic. And for the first time in the history of this school, this principal will be a principal. » Eric Dupond Moretti terminated with a poetical touch as he praised Nathalie Roret, new appointed President of National School of Magistrates: «  Ladies and gentlemen, I hear, I listen and I respect states of mind, but over states of soul, I prefer records of service. This is the reason why I proposed to this post an exceptional woman, Maître Nathalie Roret, current vice-president of the Paris bar. She was sworn in in 1989 and practiced in various areas of law. The richness of her background, her appetite for teaching, her commitment alongside litigants, especially in the field of mediation, are guarantees of the qualities that she will express at the head of this school. This is the meaning of my proposal to the President of the Republic and I have the certainty that Madam President Nathalie Roret as new director will be able to implement, with the board of directors, these new directions and this new ambition. »“¦/
