Program

In thefirst semester, teaching is divided between lectures, seminars, and conferences involving legal practitioners.  

The seminars aim, in particular, to develop new skills in students: oral expression, practical case studies, independent research on a given topic, etc.

Participation in the Cassin competition, a mock trial based on the European Convention on Human Rights held at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, is a rewarding and highly educational experience in terms of developing analytical, writing, and oral communication skills.

Writing a research thesis completes the program and allows students to engage in a scientific process that is very useful for developing analytical skills and writing abilities.
