The configuration is not far from being new: “We are both our successor and our predecessor!” “, smile Me Éric Dabin and Me Jean-Aurélien Liauzun. After his term as president of the Deux-Sèvres Bar Association, the first officially handed over to the second on 1is January 2025, two years after the same scene in reverse.
Specialist in real estate and personal rights, Me Jean-Aurélien Liauzun was elected by his peers on Wednesday June 12, 2024 during a vote held in the new House of Lawyers, open since the previous spring in rue des Trois-Coigneaux, in Niort: invest the he old chamber, on three levels, of notaries of the department was a project undertaken during his previous mandate.
“Already” and “finally”
Previously, the bar occupied an office at the Espace Thémis on rue Marcel-Paul, using part of the former district court which became an annex to the judicial court in 2020. In fact, here it is “a great step forward”, notes an Me Éric Dabin who, upon leaving his position, said to himself « déjà » et ” Finally “ at the same time: “‘Already’, because it goes by quickly, there are a lot of things to do. “Finally”, because it is appropriate to manage your office while having a permanent eye on the affairs of the order. You must be a little schizophrenic! »
Two decades after a first similar experience in Bressuire, Me Éric Dabin, almost 63 years old, notably supervised the accession, in mid-2024, to an IT tool for order management, called BarÔtech, in order to optimize administrative management. And since this same period, the bar has used Clipa software, which allows the centralization of planning for the various offices shared by some of the 99 lawyers currently practicing across the four corners of the department.
-“You have to be
A little
schizophrenic! »
During the month of September 2024, his future successor had anticipated what constitutes one of his first projects, currently in progress, namely the merger of the Funds for financial settlements of lawyers, this to “pool resources” : thus, the Carpa des Deux-Sèvres is in the process of joining that of the South-West, which brings together nine departments.
“Cruising pace”
This is why, with these changes, Me Jean-Aurélien Liauzun hears “find a cruising speed” this year for the bar: which does not prevent it from already thinking about the future development of internal regulations specific to Deux-Sèvres or to “optimization” various hotlines, whether criminal, related to minors or domestic violence with, for the latter point, the emergency number 07.88.91.00.96. The forty-year-old, who took the oath in 2010, even plans to create one dedicated to residential leases in 2026.
And then the President of the Bar will be able to discover, from Monday January 20, 2025 and after a recent private visit which brought together around twenty of his sisters and brothers, the final configuration of the Eunomia site: this is the name given to the new civil center of the Niort judicial court at n° 11 and n° 13 rue de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, a stone's throw from the courthouse. “A good idea”, in absolute terms.
