Rétablir la justice de proximité en créant, dans chacun de nos 2 050 cantons, un nouveau statut de magistrat : le « juge territorial »

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This French bill proposes a new judicial position, the 'juge territorial' (territorial judge), in each of the country's 2,050 cantons. The stated aim is to restore justice at the local level by bringing a judge closer to residents. The title gives no detail on the judge's powers, selection, or funding. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. If adopted, the bill would most directly affect residents of French cantons, who would gain a local judicial point of contact. It would also affect magistrates, court administrators, and local authorities, whose roles and resources would depend on the final text.
