No one may sit the oral admission tests unless they have been declared eligible by the jury.
The oral admission tests are held in public session. They comprise:
1° An oral test on a subject relating to commercial law, civil and commercial procedure, the professional regulations governing commercial court clerks or the organisation and management of a registry, followed by a conversation with the jury on the same subjects. The test lasts thirty minutes, preceded by thirty minutes of preparation. The test subject is chosen by lot by the candidate. The test has a coefficient of 4.
2° A twenty-minute interview with the selection board focusing on the candidate’s background and motivation, based on an individual information sheet that he or she will have filled in beforehand, as well as on his or her aptitude to perform the duties of a commercial court clerk and to respect the code of ethics. During the interview, the candidate may be questioned about real-life professional situations. The test has a coefficient of 3.
With a view to the interview test, eligible candidates complete an individual information sheet which they send to the Conseil national des greffiers des tribunaux de commerce by the deadline set by the latter and before the start of the admission tests. These forms are then forwarded to the selection board by the Conseil national des greffiers des tribunaux de commerce. The individual information sheet is available on the website of the Conseil national des greffiers des tribunaux de commerce.
