On August 28, 2023, marks the third anniversary of the assassination of Bar President Monferrier Dorval. The light has still not been shed on this heinous murder of the legal professional in front of his private residence. The Port-au-Prince Bar Association presented the chronicle of a legal ordeal that unfolded over several key dates. On September 25, 2020, the case was assigned to an investigating judge. On November 9, 2020, President Jovenel Moïse made a statement causing confusion during a television program in the capital. On May 24, 2021, eight orders were issued by the first judge, who left the country two months later. On July 12, the investigating judge resigned. On October 4, the Port-au-Prince Court of First Instance appointed another judge to the case. It took four months for another judge to be appointed on April 26. To this day, the investigation continues.

"The Fate of Emblematic Criminal Trials in Haiti" is the theme that several participants reacted to during the commemoration. In turn, the speakers highlighted the importance of the rule of law and judicial independence. They drew from the ancient history of justice to show that very few emblematic trials have concluded in Haiti.
