The Monégasque Institute for Judicial Professions (IMFPJ) marked the start of its new academic year on Tuesday, September 2, bringing together nearly 200 participants, including legal professionals, institutional representatives, and speakers, at the Rainier III Auditorium for the first time.
The institute, which has become a key hub for legal training in the Principality, now offers 300 hours of annual courses, drawing on the expertise of over 200 speakers and attracting more than 1,500 enrolments each year. Its reach extends beyond Monaco, with over 10,000 legal professionals following its work internationally.
The 2025–2026 curriculum introduces three major initial training tracks: preparation for judiciary, bar, and police lieutenant entrance exams; a professional certification in Monegasque law; and an introductory course for non-legal professionals. Alongside these, a series of continuing education programmes will run in collaboration with professional associations.
The academic year will also feature a major colloquium in June 2026, organised with the Department of External Relations and Cooperation, focusing on the impact of European Court of Human Rights rulings.
On the publishing front, the institute is expanding its influence with the recent launch of its new journal, Monaco Droit. The second issue is scheduled for December 2025, with a special report on anti-money laundering measures. A legal book series has also been inaugurated in partnership with LexisNexis, with its first volume on Monaco’s judicial institutions released in July 2025. A forthcoming title on the protection of vulnerable adults in both France and Monaco is set for publication in October 2025.
