520			_aThis article aims to bring together two points of view : the one of the philosopher and the one of the lawyer, on the question of what truth is and more generally on the role that the lawyer can have in this perspective. Laurence Mathias intends to answer the question of whether there is a truth. A question which necessarily interests the jurist and in particular the lawyer who participates in establishing the judicial truth. According to philosophy, it is essential to be able to decide between the true and the false. This is how the truth must be one in order to exist. It is at this price that the very horizon of reason, thought and the common can be assured. However, is there really a truth on which everyone can agree? Lawyer Lorraine Bertagna looks back on her personal experience in the field of family law. She thus explains that the truth in her profession must be nuanced. Contrary to the popular image of the profession - which sometimes turns into painful disillusionment for the litigant - the work of Justice rarely has an interest in giving a winner and a loser, in making the truth of one party prevail over that of the other by making it truthful, if not absolute, at least judicial.
