About The French National School for Judiciary (ENM)

The French National School for Judiciary

The only school for judges and prosecutors in France, the French National School for the Judiciary (Ecole Nationale de la Magistrature: ENM) was founded in 1958. It has the status of a national public administrative establishment and is placed under the authority of the French Ministry of Justice. This status gives the school autonomy in its administrative and financial management. Based in Bordeaux and Paris, the French National School for the Judiciary recruits French judges and public prosecutors annually. It designs and provides both their initial 31-month training and their in-service training throughout their careers. The School also trains other legal professionals as well as judges and prosecutors from outside France.

A POWERFUL INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENT From the very first year of its existence, the National School for the Judiciary opted for a broad international outlook. As a central player in the European construction in terms of training, the school is active throughout the world, improving and modernizing training for judges and prosecutors. Conscious of the enriching effect of exchanges between practitioners in different countries with their own judicial cultures, each year it sends numerous French judges and prosecutors to train abroad and welcomes within its walls judges and prosecutors from a variety of countries. The International Department of the ENM aims to share the expertise it has acquired over more than 60 years. In so doing, it contributes to promoting continental law and, more generally, to maintaining the rule of law all over the world.
