Master Justice, Proces Et Procedures — Pénal

The Master Justice, Procès et Procédures — Pénal, offered by Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Étienne, France, belongs to the discipline of procedural law, with this track focused on criminal procedure. General programs in justice and procedure examine how disputes and cases move through the judicial system, including the organization of courts and the roles of the different actors involved in a trial. A track centered on criminal procedure, as this program's title indicates, typically studies the rules that govern how criminal investigations are conducted, how charges are brought, the rights of the accused, the stages of a criminal trial, and the enforcement of criminal sentences. Students in this kind of program often study criminal investigation procedure, the role of prosecutors, defense rights, evidence rules in criminal cases, and the interaction between criminal procedure and substantive criminal law. Graduates commonly pursue careers as criminal defense lawyers, prosecutors' office staff, legal advisors specializing in criminal matters, or roles within institutions involved in the criminal justice system, including police legal departments and victim support organizations. The degree is a master's qualification following the two-year structure used across French universities, and the program is based in Saint-Étienne. Courses are expected to begin in September, instruction is delivered in French, and the yearly tuition for the program is 250 EUR.
