The Syndicat de la Magistrature (SM; English: Magistrate's Union) is France's second largest magistrates' trade union in terms of membership after the more conservative Union syndicale des magistrats. Close to the left-wing parties such as the Socialist Party, it is in favour of a larger independence of the judiciary from the executive power, often criticising police brutality or harsh immigration laws. During the 2005 civil unrest in France, it criticised then-Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy's use of what it considered to be inappropriate language. The Syndicat de la Magistrature is member of Magistrats Européens pour la Démocratie et les Libertés (MEDEL), a progressive European NGO of judges and public prosecutors. More information...
