Marc’s research interests focus on the interaction between the enthusiastic internationalization of plea bargaining practices and the rise in executive power. His thesis, which he carries out jointly with University Laval and Université Toulouse 1 Capitole, aims to determine the extent to which extensive prosecutorial discretion is consistent with the effective preservation of voluntary guilty pleas, and thus with individual liberty, a fundamental value of criminal procedure. Marc publishes his works in Repères, the Revue générale de droit and the Criminal Law Quarterly and is a speaker at the ACFAS conference.
During the course of his undergraduate studies at Laval University, Marc engaged in volunteer work, stood out at the Gale Cup competition, worked as a research and teaching assistant, completed several internships and studied in South Korea. Marc obtained his Bachelors of law with honours in 2015.
Soon after, Marc passed the Bar exam and began a dual degree graduate program, for which he was granted a scholarship for excellence on admission. His master’s thesis on the correspondence between discourses related to plea bargaining and their implementation was graded “excellent” and earned two legal writing awards, including the prestigious award of the Quebec Society of Comparative Law for the best master’s thesis.
In 2017, Marc obtained his Master of Laws degree with honours from Laval University and his Master 2 from University Toulouse 1 Capitole. Thereafter, Marc completed an internship for the provincial prosecutorial services and began doctoral studies in 2018 with the assistance of a scholarship of excellence for admission from Laval University and a scholarship for graduate studies from the Desjardins Foundation.
