Effective Trials: Tools for Better Case Management

On November 19, 2025, the Academy of Justice, in cooperation with the Council of Europe – Strengthening the Quality and Efficiency of Justice Project (KOSEJ III), organized a training session within the framework of the Continuous Training Program on the topic “Effective Trials: Tools for Better Case Management.”

The training was delivered by Ms. Marie-Paule Lugbull, Head of the Management and Professional Development Division at the National School of Justice (École Nationale de la Magistrature – ENM). Ms. Lugbull has an extensive judicial background, having previously served as President of the Court of Appeal of Saint-Malo and at the Supreme Court of Argentan.

The beneficiaries of this training were professional associates from courts and prosecution offices.
