Program

Teaching in the1st semester is divided between lectures, seminars and conferences featuring legal practitioners.  

In particular, seminars are designed to develop new skills: oral expression, case studies, independent research on a given subject, etc.

Taking part 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 formative experience in terms of developing analytical, writing and oral expression skills.

The completion of a research dissertation completes the training program and enables students to engage in a scientific process that is highly useful for forging their analytical and writing skills.
