Over the last five years, marked by the creation of two national training schools for professional judges, the situation of the Brazilian judiciary schools was characterized by uncertainty. These two national schools must support more than one hundred regional judiciary schools, divided among different branches and in competition with other actors whose action does not necessarily apply to the pedagogy of training of judges. This multiplicity of actors, enjoying legitimacy with variable geometry, depending on whether one adopts an administrative, associative or learning perspective, makes the process more complex and the debate polyphonic. We try here to understand the impact of the new architecture of the system of training of judges on the Brazilian judicial system and, moreover, by making the comparison with the French system, we examine what can be learned on the transformations of Justice and the profession of judge.
