Training session in Rabat for Public Prosecution magistrates
A training session initiated by the Presidency of the Public Prosecution under the theme “Strengthening the capacities of Public Prosecution magistrates in the field of pleading” began on Monday in Rabat.
Organized as part of a series of sessions also scheduled to be held in the cities of Fez and Marrakech, this edition aims to improve the performance of magistrates and staff of the Public Prosecution and to promote their professional skills.
Speaking on the occasion, the Prosecutor General of the King at the Court of Cassation and President of the Public Prosecution, Hicham Balaoui, said that this session is part of the strategic vision adopted by the Presidency of the Public Prosecution regarding the development of the competencies of its magistrates and staff.
In a speech read on his behalf by the head of the Public Action and Monitoring of the Implementation of Criminal Policy Unit at the Presidency of the Public Prosecution, Mr. Balaoui noted that the expected role of the Public Prosecution magistrate “is no longer limited to simple figures and statistics reflecting his decisions and instructions, but extends to a daily practice aimed at convincing the public of the effectiveness, maturity and nobility of the mission entrusted to the Public Prosecution as the guarantor of the protection of rights and freedoms.”
He also stressed that it is essential for Public Prosecution magistrates to master the practices of legal eloquence required for the exercise of their judicial functions, and to refine them by equipping themselves with linguistic and logical tools and mechanisms capable of enabling them to convey the intended meaning of discourse.
For his part, the Prosecutor General of the Arab Republic of Egypt pointed out that pleading, far more than a rhetorical practice, is the most appropriate means of convincing citizens of the legitimacy of a judgment.
Referring to the historical cooperation relations established between Morocco and Egypt, he highlighted, in a speech read on his behalf, the legal framework governing cooperation in the judicial field between the two countries, notably citing the two cooperation agreements in criminal and civil matters.
The program of this two-day training includes several lectures spread over two sessions addressing topics such as “The historical evolution of pleading, its importance and its impact on society” and “The use of technological tools in the preparation of pleading.”
