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).

Master of Litigation Law

The Master's degree in Litigation Law, part of the Justice, Trials and Procedures specialization, offers a multi-disciplinary, cross-disciplinary approach to various types of litigation, whether civil (family, contract), criminal, business or enforcement. Emphasis is placed on in-depth analysis of each subject, using a theoretical and practical approach.
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.

The courses offered in the first year of the Justice, Litigation and Procedure specialization are designed to provide a common foundation of knowledge, with a view to specialization in the second year (M2). In the first year, students acquire new knowledge, particularly in civil law, procedure and private international law.
The second year of the program enables students to study in greater depth the various subjects relating to litigation, including civil and criminal procedure, as well as enforcement. Specific courses cover alternative dispute resolution methods, fundamental trial rights and the contentious aspects of business law.
