Melun lawyers intensify strike against criminal justice reforms

actu.fr (French)

Melun lawyers are escalating their strike against criminal justice reforms, now including civil and commercial cases. The protest, which began on April 2, 2026, initially focused on the penal sector. Lawyers are concerned about a proposed guilty plea system for crimes, fearing it could rush proceedings and disregard victims. The Melun bar association is advocating for increased funding and more judicial staff to address court backlogs, rather than what they see as an "expedited justice" reform.
