"I chose to be free". A biographical parenthesis of a judge

This article presents two interviews with Claire, a judge, revealing the delusions of some of these judges leaving the profession to find fulfilment in a new activity. It discusses the determining factors of this choice in Claire's professional career ; first by describing her experience as a judge, then by showing how the disappointment of her first vocation and her commitment to ecology led her to set up a business, all within the context of social and geographical mobility. This breaking point highlights dysfunctions in the judicial system and shows how those at the heart of the institution experience them.
