Overview
- Academic Director: Jean-Louis Respaud
The concept of market law has only recently come to the fore: competition law, consumer law, business contract law, and distribution law—to which we could add financial markets law, economic analysis of law, and digital business law—all viewed from national, EU, and international perspectives. Indeed, the operations of businesses are increasingly subject to the constraints of market law, which is becoming more complex and technical, is already fully integrated into EU law, and is becoming increasingly international in scope.
Objectives
The course content focuses on reinforcing concepts in contract law, distribution law, competition law, consumer law, arbitration, legal theory, and more. The courses are shared with the M2 in Economic Law, Consumer and Competition track, and therefore also involve working on real-world case studies.
Expertise and Skills
The candidate has a solid grasp of the basic legal concepts of contract law, competition law, distribution law, and consumer law. The candidate communicates with ease, writes effectively, and is prepared to devote time to research papers as well as to participating in “law games,” arbitration competitions, or mediation competitions.
