"It's a jeopardy for small firms," says Olivier Cousi, new president of the Paris office. Hundreds of lawyers demonstrated against the pension reform at the Palais de Justice in Paris on January 10. They called Nicole Belloubet to resign, while the Minister of Justice was right next door, in the Grand'chambre of the Court of Cassation, for the solemn return to school hearing.
The lawyers went to bed on the ground, under the shrill cry of sirens and whistles. They then threw their black dress on the ground. At the call of the National Bar Council, which represents the 70,000 French lawyers, the profession hardens the protest movement against the reform, fearing the questioning of their autonomous regime.
