The Crisis of the Administrative Judge in Cameroon and Congo

The diversified inflation of litigation in contemporary society has led to a shift from the State as master of justice to the State as litigant. This justiciability of the <i>cold monster</i> is more perceptible before the administrative judge. The Cameroonian and Congolese litigation arenas offer us the opportunity to appreciate (perhaps to varying degrees) the setting in motion of the diptych equality-legality, which is the primary element in the office of this Judge. However, it happens to be in crisis. A crisis whose characteristics are based on its legitimacy and identity. To resolve this crisis, the Cameroonian and Congolese administrative judges must play an active role in legitimizing himself by discovering his true identity, in order to fully play his role in building and consolidating the rule of law. He must therefore combine the figures of Saint Louis and Solomon to deliver "Justice".

Abstract

The diversified inflation of litigation in contemporary society has led to a shift from the State as master of justice to the State as litigant. This justiciability of the <i>cold monster</i> is more perceptible before the administrative judge. The Cameroonian and Congolese litigation arenas offer us the opportunity to appreciate (perhaps to varying degrees) the setting in motion of the diptych equality-legality, which is the primary element in the office of this Judge. However, it happens to be in crisis. A crisis whose characteristics are based on its legitimacy and identity. To resolve this crisis, the Cameroonian and Congolese administrative judges must play an active role in legitimizing himself by discovering his true identity, in order to fully play his role in building and consolidating the rule of law. He must therefore combine the figures of Saint Louis and Solomon to deliver "Justice".
