Total Law™ - Central European University Diploma in Advanced European Union Legal Practice

In addition to the legal courses offered by CEU Summer University, the Department of Legal Studies at CEU is introducing an advanced course/diploma in European Union Legal Practice which is open for participants who are not enrolled in its regular degree programs. The program aims to bring together an international mix of participants from all over the world: law students near completion of their law degree, law graduates and legal professionals, who are seeking further credentials and experience in the field. The Total Law™ teaching team is a unique blend of well-known academics and senior officials working in European Union institutions, who have also written widely in the field. The particular composition of the team gives the seminar and the workshop both that advanced knowledge and the insider view that is so valuable for the participants.

More information about the program is available at
