Evil is ancient and endemic.
According to the Union Syndicale des Magistrates (USM), a quarter of correctional hearings take place after 9 p.m.
The majority union has indeed conducted a survey of 164 French jurisdictions, which are divided into four groups according to their socio-demographic importance.
The jurisdictions which suffer the most are those of the Paris region such as Paris, Bobigny, Créteil, Évry but also those of Lille or Bordeaux.
According to the USM, on average 37.5% of audiences exceed 9 p.m., with peaks sometimes reaching 65 and 78%.
Even for medium-sized jurisdictions like Grenoble or Melun, the average is 25%, while for smaller ones, like Soissons or Saint-Malo, it is 22%.
All with peaks approaching or exceeding 50%.
