- « Attorney Chabaud, you are the founder of the JURIVOX firm. Can you introduce yourself ? »
- « « I took oath the 2 December 1991 and began to practice at the very time that the professions of barrister and law council merged together. After two years of preparatory classes, I joined and graduated from Toulouse’s Ecole Superieure de Commerce. In parallel to these management studies, I also attended classes at the Law school in Toulouse, where I gained a masters certificate in Business Law. I first worked in the private sector then branched out into the lawyer profession in 1990 with a partiality for litigation.

- « To build on this point, what values do you defend ? »
- « Must I clarify them somewhat? Between begging the question and creed the boundary is often limited or convoluted... Let’s say that regarding the lawyer’s oath- the compass of our professional activity- the two cardinal values are for me independence and humanity. »
