LLM Moot Court team reaches the final stages of the competition
The University Jean Moulin Lyon 3 and the LLM program staff are delighted to announce that our Moot Court team qualified for the final stages of the competition.
The European Law Moot Court Competition is a traditional moot - i.e. simulated court - competition, in which teams of students prepare written pleadings with respect to a problem of European law and present their arguments in oral proceedings before the Court of Justice.
Our team was awarded first place after several pleadings at the regional final held in Maastricht at the end of January 2010. The team will be going through to the final held in Luxembourg before the Court of Justice of the European Union.
We wish the best of luck to Eleni Artemiou, Marine Besson, Damian Clifford, Elizabeth Fanning and Shannon O'Connor.
EDUCATING LAWYERS SINCE 1875
Welcome to the website of the LL.M. and Postgraduate Diploma programs in International and European Law
The global economy in which we live has created a demand for lawyers capable of managing different legal systems, whilst at the same time possessing an in-depth knowledge of international and European legal principles.
Our Law School at Jean Moulin University (UJM) offers highly qualified and intellectually outstanding graduates, with a background in law, the opportunity to specialise in international, European and comparative law as well as the chance to develop their legal skills in the international context, thus facilitating their entry into the professional world whilst at the same time enabling them to pre-empt and address the dynamic nature of law in practice.
In the French system of higher education, we are distinct in that our programs are taught exclusively in English, to American Bar Association and international standards.
These programs are targeted at those with experience in the law. We work on the premise that such skilled individuals prefer to study in an intimate framework, together with other like-minded students from a similar background. For this reason we have limited the number of participants in these programs to 40 students per Semester.
The advanced nature of these programs is reflected further by the fact that our:
-
Programs allow you to tailor your course selection
-
Courses mix the practical and the academic, preparing you for your life in practice
-
Courses are specifically designed for these programs
-

-
