Constitutional reforms and the increasing justiciability of fundamental freedoms (liberty, security, defense) impose a rigorous mastery of investigations, instruction, and trial. For practitioners, the stakes are twofold: effectively protect procedural rights (presumption of innocence, adversarial process, access to the judge) and secure investigative acts to guarantee evidential value and avoid nullities. This certificate addresses the need to professionalize, to international standards, the interventions of lawyers, magistrates, police officers, and jurists exposed to sensitive cases (corruption, cybercrime, compliance, public procurement, extractive sector).<\/p>\n<p>The UNIVGA method combines a pathway <strong>100% online, asynchronous<\/strong>, a workload of 5\u20138h\/week and practical cases derived from real files. You work on key case law (CCJA, Supreme Courts, State Councils, African Court), mock trials, analysis of judgments, and drafting procedural acts (complaints, indictments, orders, briefs, conclusions). The curriculum is strictly aligned with the <strong>Codes of Criminal Procedure \/ CADHP<\/strong> and fits within a compliance framework linking OHADA (business environment), OECD (integrity), ILO (social standards), WTO (trade), WIPO\/OAPI (IP evidence), UNCITRAL (cooperation). The approach is resolutely operational: investigation methods, management of digital evidence, audience and appeal strategies, decision-making advice to legal departments and authorities.<\/p>\n<p>At the end, you enhance your employability towards positions of<strong>lawyer<\/strong>, <strong>magistrate<\/strong>, notary, corporate lawyer, legal director, contract manager, compliance officer, tax advisor, DPO, legal advisor in ministerial cabinet, mediator or OHADA arbitrator. The UNIVGA Professional Certificate is recognized by international and African law firms, legal departments of large companies, ministries of Justice, OHADA\/CCJA institutions, regulatory authorities, and donors in CEMAC, ECOWAS, and Francophone Africa. You will be able to conduct complex criminal litigation, anticipate procedural risks, defend the rights of the defense, and secure every step of the criminal trial, from the first investigative act to extraordinary appeals.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master the investigation, instruction, and criminal trial, from police custody to appeals.
