France has 7,000 judges.
They make 14 million decisions every year and, in the name of the French people, can change our lives.
Who are these men and women who are allegedly the most powerful and most lonely in France?
How do they work?
What are their convictions?
What are their doubts?
Three judges, three portraits, three visions in the close quarters of their decisions:
- The sentencing judge: can free a prisoner at the risk of a repeat offence. Faces the judgment of public opinion.
- The family court judge: the last recourse when a couple is at odds. Rules on the parents, the money and the children.
- Justice of the peace : present in every city and every county. Deals with conflicts of ordinary life.
