Missions
The ENM has five main missions:
- The organisation of competitive entrance examinations
- The initial training of France's future judges and prosecutors
- The provision of in-service training for French judges and prosecutors
- The training of judges and prosecutors from foreign States which have cooperation agreements with France
- The training of non-professional judges, commercial court judges, non-career judges, employment tribunal judges, assessors in the social divisions and certain judicial auxiliaries
These missions are grouped into two large departments, one at the main school in Bordeaux and the other in Paris. The department in charge of recruitment, initial training and research is based on the Bordeaux site, while the department in charge of continuing education, international and specialist professional courses is in Paris.
