Application

In the interest of maintaining the programme’s high standards, the number of participants will be limited to 30.

Prerequisites for participation are a minimum of one year of legal training at a university and a very good command of written and spoken English. Even though we do not require students to submit language test results, we urge students with poor language skills to abstain from applying. Professors will not be able to accommodate language difficulties. Knowledge of German is not a prerequisite.
