The Justice, Trials and Procedures specialization is aimed at students planning to enter a justice-related profession, or who wish to work in an institution as a litigation specialist.
Objectives
The specialization aims to contribute to students' professional integration in two ways: on the one hand, by preparing them as effectively as possible for the various tests (case studies, dissertations, notes de synthèse) required for competitive entrance exams and examinations related to the specialization. Secondly, by introducing them to the work that will be carried out as part of their intended professional activity, not only during internships, but also as part of practical courses (introduction to drafting deeds in Master II, for example).
Know-how and skills
This specialization is designed to provide an in-depth, applied university education, with students acquiring a sound knowledge of the various subjects and the exercises required for competitive examinations. Students are also able to:
- analyze and understand legal situations with a view to advising
- draft legal documents or legal memoranda
- argue and synthesize.

The aim of this course is to specialize students in the main areas of litigation, equipping them with the in-depth knowledge required for a successful entry into professional life.
