Opportunity with the Paris Bar - UPDATE
ORDRE DES AVOCATS AJA COURDEPARIS
Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
Due to the presence of COVID-19 on the national
territory and the current government recommendations for international
gatherings in France in order to apply a precautionary principle which aims to
limit the virus circulation, the Paris Bar has decided with regret to
cancel for this year the International
Program, training program for English-speaking lawyers, which
was supposed to be held in Paris from May 4thto June 26th2020. The
candidates have already been notified, we will be more than happy to receive
their application for the International
program2021.
It is the very first time the Paris Bar has to
cancel the program but it seems to be the most reasonable option
today. Beyond the application of a precautionary principle for our participants
from around the world, we don't want to impose a personal financial
commitment on the part of our candidates (airline tickets and
accommodation) without any visibility of the measures in the coming weeks.
Please note that the Stage International (for
French speaking lawyers) is still planned from October 5thto
November 27th2020.French speaking lawyers can adress
their application to Aurore Legrand (alegrand@avocatparis.org).
