Mock trial: Should the 1905 law be amended?

On National Secularism Day, we are pleased to invite you to a mock trial on the question "Should the 1905 law be amended?"

Two teams from the student associations Les Tribuns and Lysias will face off in a real-life debate, before a jury composed of local figures, including the president of the Montpellier administrative court.

This project, designed with the scientific support of Mustapha Afroukh, lecturer in public law, draws on academic expertise and the art of advocacy to examine the foundations and possible developments of the law on the separation of church and state.

Registration required, subject to availability

An event reserved for UM staff and students, offered as part of the 120th anniversary of the law separating church and state by Jean-Paul Udave, Secularism Advisor at the University of Montpellier, and organized by the Campus Life Department.
