a certain number
" of signatories on Friday, magistrates of the bench and the prosecution, judges of application of sentences and investigating judges so that it is "
eclectic and representative

the consideration which one owes to the magistrates and which is disintegrating
", are discussed within the framework of the Estates General of Justice, launched on October 18.

systematic questioning of justice
" and the unease caused by a demonstration in May of police officers in front of the National Assembly who shouted at the laxity of the judges.
