Judicial Independence: Principles, Guarantees, and Modern Challenges w. Agathe Fermin Du Sartel

This French-language HAQQ webinar explores one of the foundations of the rule of law: judicial independence. Led by Agathe Fremin du Sartel, Justice Cooperation Attaché for the Middle East at the French Embassy, the session examines how judicial independence is defined, protected, and challenged, drawing on French law while opening comparative reflections with the Lebanese legal system. Key topics covered: What judicial independence really means beyond theory Independence as both a mindset and a legal status Separation of powers and constitutional foundations Independence, transparency, and efficiency as a single system Guarantees of independence: tenure, budget, appointments, and training The role and limits of judicial councils Political pressure, media influence, and public opinion The balance between freedom of expression and duty of restraint Specialization vs. mobility of judges Public trust and the perception of justice The discussion concludes with a live Q&A addressing real-world issues such as budgetary pressure, judicial specialization, constitutional justice, oversight mechanisms, and efficiency during judicial recess periods. This webinar is not academic theory. It is a practical, institutional conversation about safeguarding justice in democratic systems under strain.
