One of the French lawyers of plaintiffs Simon Cohen (L) and one of the French lawyers of Total subsidiary Grande Paroisse, Jean Veil (R) talk on March 3, 2009 at the courtroom of the Jean Mermoz auditorium in the southwestern French city of Toulouse prior to attend an hearing of the victims and rescuers during the trial of the September 2001 explosion at AZF factory, that should run during four months.
