1What is the civil service classification and primary operational role of an Attaché des Greffes et Parquets graduating from the Cycle Moyen Supérieur of the INFJ in Côte d'Ivoire?
A.Category A, Grade A3 civil servant, serving as courtroom clerk (greffier d'audience), instruction clerk, section supervisor, or deputy chief clerk
B.Category A, Grade A4 civil servant, serving exclusively as Greffier en Chef or Director of Court Registry Services
C.Category B, Grade B3 civil servant, serving primarily in operational data entry, record typing, and document delivery (Secrétaire des Greffes)
D.Category C, Grade C1 civil servant, executing basic document filing, archive handling, and physical dispatch duties
Explanation: Under the Statut Particulier des Greffiers in Côte d'Ivoire, graduates of the Cycle Moyen Supérieur of the INFJ École des Greffes are appointed as Attachés des Greffes et Parquets (Category A, Grade A3). They perform core judicial authentication duties: assisting judges in hearings, transcribing instructions, supervising registry sections, and issuing authentic copies.
2Why is the physical presence of the Greffier legally mandatory during open court hearings under the Code of Civil Procedure?
A.Because the greffier is the authenticating officer of the court whose presence and contemporaneous recording in the plumitif confer authentic legal validity on proceedings and judgments
B.Because the greffier is the representative of the Public Prosecutor responsible for requesting sentence enforcement in civil disputes
C.Because the greffier serves as the neutral legal mediator appointed to attempt mandatory amicable conciliation between litigants on the bench
D.Because the greffier holds deliberative voting power alongside the presiding judge and assessors to determine the outcome of the lawsuit
Explanation: Under procedural law, the composition of the court is incomplete and any decision is radically null and void if the Greffier is not present on the bench. The clerk guarantees procedural authenticity, records oral debates, oaths, and incidents in the plumitif, and co-signs the judgment.
3What information must the Attaché des Greffes record in the 'Plumitif d'Audience' during a civil trial hearing?
A.The date, court composition (magistrates and clerk), names of parties and attorneys, roll call results, oral declarations, exhibit submissions, adjournments, and operative judgments
B.Only the financial accounting breakdown of court fees paid by the plaintiff and the registry receipt numbers
C.Only the formal text of the final written judgment after it has been signed and sealed in chambers
D.Exclusively the identity of the judicial police officers who served the initial summonses and their return dates
Explanation: The plumitif is the authentic manual record of the hearing. The clerk contemporaneously writes down the date, court composition, case numbers called, appearance/non-appearance of parties, attorney oral arguments, exceptions raised, witness oaths, and the precise operative orders (dispositifs) pronounced by the president.
4What is the legal value of the 'Plumitif d'Audience' in the event of a dispute regarding what occurred during a hearing?
A.It is an authentic instrument that makes full proof until challenged by the procedure of forgery (fait foi jusqu'à inscription de faux)
B.It is a simple private writing (acte sous seing privé) whose contents can be overturned by ordinary witness testimony
C.It is an administrative summary having merely consultative value, subordinate to the private notes kept by the attorneys
D.It is a provisional memorandum that loses all legal evidentiary effect once the judgment is typed
Explanation: Because the plumitif is drafted by a sworn public officer (the greffier) during the exercise of authentic judicial functions, it constitutes an authentic public act (acte authentique). It makes conclusive proof of the hearing proceedings until proven false through the solemn legal action of inscription de faux.
5What is the role of the Attaché des Greffes during a criminal trial before the Tribunal Correctionnel?
A.Verifying the presence of the accused and witnesses, administering witness oaths, reading the referral order (ordonnance de renvoi), recording oral evidence, and transcribing the oral sentencing
B.Presenting the indictment and requesting specific criminal sanctions on behalf of society as the representative of the Parquet
C.Conducting cross-examinations of the accused and deciding whether to grant provisional release during the hearing
D.Deliberating with the magistrates in chambers to assess guilt and draft the legal motivation of the penal sanction
Explanation: During correctional trials, the greffier d'audience manages hearing logistics: calling the roll, recording identity checks, recording the solemn witness oath ('Je jure de dire toute la vérité...'), noting victim claims, recording prosecutor submissions, defense pleas, and the final verdict.
6What is a 'Procès-Verbal d'Interrogatoire de Première Comparution' drafted by the greffier d'instruction?
A.The authentic record of the initial hearing where the examining magistrate informs the suspect of the charges, their right to remain silent, and their right to choose defense counsel, signed by all present
B.The preliminary police custody statement taken by a Judicial Police Officer (OPJ) before transferring the suspect to the Parquet
C.The formal closing order (ordonnance de règlement) terminating the criminal investigation and referring the accused to trial
D.The final indictment brief drafted by the Public Prosecutor requesting the examining magistrate to place the suspect under detention
Explanation: Under the Ivorian Code de procédure pénale (Loi n° 2018-975 du 27 décembre 2018), the première comparution is a critical procedural stage. The greffier d'instruction transcribes verbatim the judge's formal notifications: charges alleged, right to counsel, right to remain silent (droit au silence), and records the suspect's statements, signing alongside the judge, suspect, and lawyer.
7What is the procedure when the accused person refuses to sign or cannot sign the 'Procès-Verbal d'Interrogatoire'?
A.The judge and greffier explicitly record in the body of the procès-verbal the refusal or material impossibility to sign, which preserves the authentic validity of the act
B.The examining magistrate designates a court-appointed attorney to sign the procès-verbal on behalf of the accused
C.The interrogation is declared null and void, requiring the entire instruction proceedings to be recommenced from the beginning
D.The greffier issues an immediate contempt of court citation (outrage à magistrat) resulting in an automatic 6-month prison sentence
Explanation: Under the Code of Criminal Procedure, if an accused or witness refuses to sign (refus de signer) or is illiterate/physically unable to sign, the greffier and judge make express mention of this fact in the procès-verbal ('Lecture faite, l'inculpé a refusé de signer...'). The act remains fully valid and authentic.
8What is the 'Dossier de Mise en État' managed by the Attaché des Greffes assigned to the cabinet of the Juge de la Mise en État?
A.The organized physical file containing the introductory writ, calendar of hearings, lawyer briefs (conclusions), documentary exhibits, and interlocutory communication orders
B.The confidential administrative personnel file tracking disciplinary records and performance reviews of registry staff
C.The financial accounting ledger tracking the deposit and liquidation of criminal bails and expert consignments
D.The permanent archive docket of closed cases transferred to the National Archives Department after appeal expiration
Explanation: In civil procedure, the Attaché des Greffes attached to the Juge de la Mise en État maintains the active case files: indexing briefs, filing communication receipts (bordereaux), tracking deadlines for responsive pleadings (injonctions de conclure), and preparing the file for the closing order (ordonnance de clôture).
9What is an 'Injonction de Conclure' issued by the Juge de la Mise en État and notified by the greffier?
A.A formal judicial order setting a strict mandatory deadline for a dilatory attorney to file their defense brief, on pain of closing instruction without their submissions
B.An order requiring the parties to immediately settle their financial claims before a court-appointed notary
C.A formal summons issued to compel the physical appearance of an expert witness at a public hearing
D.A final executory judgment ordering the debtor to pay the principal claim within eight days
Explanation: When an attorney repeatedly delays filing their responsive brief, the Juge de la Mise en État issues an injonction de conclure. The greffier notifies counsel with a final deadline; if ignored, the judge closes the instruction (clôture d'office), and the case is judged based solely on the adversary's briefs.
10What is the 'Fiche Individuelle de Casier Judiciaire' created and updated by the registry clerk?
A.The individual index card created for every convicted person recording full civil identity, date and place of birth, convicting court, conviction date, offense, and exact penalty pronounced
B.The civil registration sheet recording births, marriages, and deaths kept at the municipal civil status office
C.The statistical prison register tracking the daily physical presence and cell allocation of inmates in detention centers
D.The police intelligence card tracking ongoing preliminary investigations and surveillance suspects before indictment
Explanation: Upon receiving a final criminal conviction notice (avis de condamnation), the casier judiciaire clerk locates the individual's file (or creates a new fiche de casier for first-time offenders), registers the conviction details, and files it alphabetically, enabling the accurate generation of Bulletins N° 1, 2, and 3.

About the Attaché des Greffes CI Exam

The concours direct d'attaché des greffes et parquets is the entrance competition to the cycle moyen supérieur of the École des Greffes of the Institut National de Formation Judiciaire. It is open to Ivorians aged 18 to 40 holding a DEUG 2, a Licence, or an equivalent diploma, and it selects the courtroom clerks (greffiers d'audience), investigating clerks (greffiers d'instruction), and prosecution secretariat officers of the Ivorian judicial system. Selection is by four written admissibility papers totalling 12 hours — sujet d'ordre général, organisation politique, administrative et judiciaire, droit administratif, and informatique et bureautique — followed by a 5-minute oral exposé before the admission jury. Trainees at the INFJ campus in Yamoussoukro then master civil and criminal hearing protocols, minute drafting (plumitifs), registry docketing, transmission of judicial files, custody of exhibits, and the authentication of procedural acts. The official competition is conducted in French. This 100-question bank provides an English-language MCQ study adaptation focused on the courtroom and registry knowledge the role requires.
