Overview
Academic Director: Olivier Sautel
The master's program is a two-year program consisting of four semesters.
The Master’s program in “Legal and Judicial Practices” complements the range of Master’s programs offered by the Law Department at the University of Montpellier. While existing Master’s programs focus on specialized tracks, the Master’s in “Legal and Judicial Practices” breaks new ground by offering a “generalist” program in private law. Based on a practical approach, this program will enable students to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of legal and judicial practice.
This initiative responds to strong demand from students who, eager to explore legal and judicial practice, are currently required to pursue a specialization as part of a Master II program.
The professional Master II program in “Legal and Judicial Practices” works in partnership with a wide range of professional practitioners to tailor the curriculum as closely as possible to the needs of the workforce.
The Benefits of the Training Program
Students are required to take the TOEFL or TOEIC test during the program.
Objectives
The Master’s in Legal and Judicial Practices has a dual focus: general and practical. Students are guided to apply all subjects related to private law in a practical setting. The program’s goal is therefore to prepare students to manage legal cases in a corporate setting or law firm in the very near future. Graduates of the Master’s in Legal and Judicial Practices become “all-around” legal professionals, capable of providing immediate solutions to the issues at hand.
