What is the Summer School of 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.
Our ambition is to provide all participants a body of knowledge in civil law, its evolution, and its influence on the legal and economic models currently under construction in 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.
