High Council of Judges and Prosecutors (Monaco)

Disciplinary body of the legal system of Monaco


The High Council of Judges and Prosecutors (French: Le Haut Conseil de la Magistrature) is a collegial body invested with a preponderant role within the framework of the administration of justice of the Principality of Monaco.[1] The High Council of Judges and Prosecutors was instituted by the law n° 1364 of November 16, 2009 relating to the statute of the magistracy.[2] In November 2018, the new members of the High Judicial Council have been introduced in their new functions, under the chairmanship of Laurent Anselmi, Director of Judicial Services.[3]

Mission
