Overview
CERTIFICATE IN LEGAL STUDIES
Objectives
The Certificate in Judicial Studies provides, over the course of one year, an in-depth education in the legal field. Students receive in-depth instruction in procedural law, which better prepares them to take the competitive exams and entrance exams for the legal professions, to follow the courses offered by Professional Training Centers, and to practice the various legal professions.
