Since the adoption of the Haitian Constitution in 1987, the Haitian justice has undertaken substantial reforms. Deficiencies remain, however, because of lack of human, material and organizational resources suffered by all the jurisdictions of the country. This weakness of resources should rightly drive the court and jurisdiction leaders to maximize their available resources, whether processing procedures but also management of human, material and financial ressources.

In this framework a training program for Haitian judges, organized in collaboration with the Embassy of France in Haiti, was held last week at the School of Magistrates (EMA) of Port-au-Prince.

This training, two 2-day training sessions was led by two senior magistrates trainers of the National School of Magistrates (ENM) of Bordeaux, came especially from France: Eric Minnegheer, President of the First Instance Court of Brest and Ms. Monique Ollivier, General Prosecutor of the Court of Appeal of Toulouse.

The first training session was dedicated to "management of the jurisdictions" and was aimed at building the capacity of Court chiefs and of jurisdiction of Haiti to help them manage more efficiently the services they are responsible. This training benefited 37 participants, including the deans of the 18 courts of first instance in Haiti and the presidents and commissioners of its 5 Courts of Appeal, and also the Director of the General Inspectorate of Judicial Services of the Superior Council of Judicial Power (CSPJ) and two of its inspectors as well as his counterpart in the Ministry of Justice.

Besides this training program, the two top French magistrates have also provided students magistrates of the EMA a 2-day course on : Presidency of audience, preparation of oral indictments, judicial interviews and technique of deliberate, training that ended Friday.
