At the end of this first day session, a cocktail was organized at the Eversheds LLP Law firm offices in Paris, a number of lawyers, professors and notaries being present to celebrate. Numerous OHADA textbooks, in particular OHADA Codes, were distributed to the “OHADA Lawyer” students on this occasion.
