banc : Pour désigner la magistrature, le mot banc est un anglicisme à proscrire. En effet, en français juridique, le mot banc n'a pas le sens abstrait que l'anglais donne au mot «bench» lorsqu'il désigne le corps judiciaire en général ou l'ensemble des juges qui composent une juridiction donnée. 3, record 1, French, - magistrature
