dc.description.abstractAssize court jurors, as lay citizens in the judicial system, are exposed to intense stress due to their participation in criminal trials. Given this specific context, the Emergency Medical-Psychological Unit of the Marne (CUMP 51) has implemented an innovative support system aimed at preventing and addressing potential psychopathological reactions. This article describes the foundations, structure, and clinical evaluation of this three-component system: a preventive and psychoeducational intervention, immediate psychological support in the form of debriefing, and post-immediate follow-up for jurors presenting with persistent symptoms. Clinical observations confirm the psychological impact of the juror's role and highlight the relevance of such a support system, while also identifying areas for improvement. In this interview with Jean-Pierre Bouchard, Josué Masson, Karine Mintoff, Émilie Philippe, and Mélanie Hermand discuss the development and implementation of the support psychological system for assize court jurors, its perception by jurors, and its future perspectives. They present the system, its benefits, limitations, and the challenges they have encountered throughout their experience.
