The written test consists of one or more occupational situations relating to civil and legal proceedings or criminal proceedings, at the choice of candidate after communication of subjects.
The written test program is attached.
(Duration: three hours; coefficient 4).
The oral admission test consists of an interview with the jury to assess the candidate's professional experience, personal qualities, motivations and abilities to perform the functions of a clerk. In order to conduct this interview, which begins with a presentation by the candidate on his professional experience, the jury has the candidate's file for recognition of the achievements of the professional experience.
During this interview, the candidate may be questioned on issues related to general administrative knowledge, the professional environment, the functions performed and practical situations.
(Duration: 20 minutes maximum, including five minutes maximum of presentation; coefficient 3).
For the oral admission test, the candidate prepares a record of recognition of the achievements of his or her professional experience, of which he or she retains a copy, which he or she sends to the organizer service on a date fixed in the opening of the professional examination. This file describes the career path, professional and personal motivations for the performance of the functions of Registrar of Judicial Services.
The record of recognition of the achievements of the professional experience as well as the filling guide are available on the Ministry of Justice's web and intranet sites. The file is forwarded to the jury by the professional examination manager after the establishment of the eligibility list.

Only candidates who have obtained at least 40 points in the written test may be admitted to oral examination.
The jury shall determine, in alphabetical order, the list of eligible candidates and, in order of merit, the list of eligible candidates.
