Courses on Civil Law

An international legal event taking place this summer in Paris, from 3 to 21 July 2023, will bring together many students and legal practitioners from all around the world.

The richness of our Summer School lies in the quality of the education, provided in the prestigious University Panthéon-Assas (Paris II), as well as in the diversity of the legal cultures that are represented.

We are particularly excited by the international dimension of this event, from the participants to the promotion of different legal cultures, offering many opportunities to meet and discuss with others.

One mandatory course: The Civil Law Systems: A Comparative Perspective

And three optional courses, to be chosen from the following five:

-European and International Contract Law
-Settlement of International Disputes
-Digital Law Protection of Personal Data
-Environmental Law
-Constitutional Law and Fundamental Rights & Freedoms

If successful at the final examination, participants will be awarded a Training Certificate in Civil Law from the University Panthéon-Assas (Paris II).

The Foundation will also organize meetings with leading French legal industry members, including lawyers, notaries, bailiffs, commercial
court clerks and company lawyers, as well as a cultural program of visits to the best French legal institutions such as the Conseil Constitutionnel, the Sénat, the Assemblée Nationale, the Tribunal de Commerce, the Conseil d’État etc.
