Symposium: “Different perspectives on the new Juvenile Criminal Justice Code”

Faculty of Law and Political Science – Downtown, Building 1, Lecture Hall C, 39 rue de l’Université, 34000 Montpellier.

The main text relating to juvenile criminal law traditionally dated back to the Ordinance of February 10, 1945.

The law of February 26, 2021, ratifying the Order of September 11, 2019, which reforms the Order of 1945, provides for the new legislation to come into force on September 30, 2021. This creates a new Juvenile Criminal Justice Code. What are the main contributions of this Code in terms of responses to juvenile offenders?

The symposium, organized by Professor Marie-Christine Sordino, within the Montpellier Criminal Law Team, is one of the first to be organized on this topic. Its purpose is to bring together the perspectives of national academic specialists in the field and practitioners who are fully invested in these issues, which are important for French society, both now and in the future, as minors embody the future and the challenges it will face.
