The EDELNet LLB Summer School
Since 2008, students from the EDELNet Partner Universities meet every year in early summer and have the opportunity to work together in a series of activating seminars and simulations designed to offer a high quality learning experience and gain insight into legislative processes, rule of law operations and other vital aspects of legal systems in liberal democracies. In addition, participants get a valuable chance to have a meaningful exchange with students and instructors from other European jurisdictions in an institutionally supportive and intellectually challenging environment.
The programme begins with an online preparatory phase in April during which participants are expected to take a few short online courses. Structured around the professional processing of 3 hypothetical case simulations, the face-to-face part of the programme will focus on the performance of legal professional tasks to help students become aware of the intricacies of the real operation of law in practice and learn how to argue using the language of the law in different legal contexts. In the course of the programme students receive well-structured and intensive training not only in legal matters, but also in soft skills such as academic debate, legal English, intercultural communication and team work.
The application process takes place every year from January until mid February.
The EDELNet LLM Summer School
Since 2016, students from the EDELNet Partnership meet once a year in early summer and work together in international litigation teams within a moot court simulation. The programme is designed to give students a taste of real lawyering work. In addition, participants get a chance to have a meaningful exchange with students and instructors from other European jurisdictions in an institutionally supportive and intellectually challenging environment.
The programme begins with an online preparatory phase in March during which participants are expected to take a few short online courses. In the course of the programme they receive intensive training not only in legal matters, but also in soft skills such as academic debate, legal English, intercultural communication and team work.
The LLM Summer School is thematically split into two moot court simulations that run simultaneously, one dealing with private international law, the other with public international law. Students can choose to participate in either one of them.
The application process takes place every year from January until mid February.
