Eileen Servidio-Delabre on TV about the Legal Reform Issues in France
Wednesday, 10 March 2010
Following the recent demonstrations by French lawyers and magistrates against the proposed legal reform in France, Eileen Servidio-Delabre was invited to comment on the French judicial system on France 24 television on March 9, along with Frederick Davis, former prossecutor in the US and a partner at Debevoise and Plimpton LLP Law Firm in Paris. The discussion not only addressed the main point of contention raised by demonstrators, which is the elimination of the independent investigating magistrates, but also did a comparison of the French judiciary with that of the US.
