Minor justice/legal (lawyers)

The Bordeaux Bar Council voted on 21 April to immediately reconduct the strike from 22 April through 19 May 2026 inclusive, with a general stoppage of CRPC hearings and suspension of related designations. The action targets the government’s criminal justice bill (‘SURE’), which lawyers say undermines defence rights.

This alert was originally created on 30 April 2026.
