Overview
What you will learn
The Munich University Summer Training in German and European Law programme at Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich aims to give a basic understanding of European Union Law and German Law.
The European Union is one of the largest economic areas in the world. Within the European Union, Germany is an important member in terms of both population and economic power. Doing business in Europe and Germany requires a thorough knowledge of the legal system and the norms and regulations governing the transaction in question. There is an increasing demand for foreign lawyers with a basic understanding of European and German law.
Lawyers with the corresponding background will be able to collaborate with German lawyers in cross-border transactions or to work in Germany. In addition, having an understanding of another legal system enhances the intellectual capabilities necessary for excellence both in legal practice and academia. German legal scholarship, in particular, is renowned for its systematic approach to law.
Last but not least, this programme will bring together excellent lawyers and law students from a variety of countries, providing the opportunity to create a network of programme alumni. The Faculty of Law of the LMU is eager to support a network of this kind and provides a website for alumni affairs.
