Lawyers Protest Against The SURE Draft Bill
Former President of the Paris Bar Julie Couturier speaks next to the President of the Conference of Bar Presidents Christophe Bayle during a demonstration against the proposed Darmanin law in Paris, France, on April 13, 2026. Lawyers across France participate in a nationwide ''Justice morte'' (Dead Justice) stoppage called by most of the country's 164 bar associations, as the Senate opens debate on the bill, which the government states is needed to address a backlog of more than 6,000 pending criminal cases.
