COSA SONO LE LAW SCHOOLS?
ELSA Italia, in collaborazione con partners accademici e istituzionali operanti in campo internazionale, organizzano seminari in lingua inglese dedicati allo studio e allo sviluppo di differenti tematiche giuridiche di rilievo europeo e non.
Le Law Schools, che in genere si svolgono nel periodo estivo, vengono ospitate da prestigiosi atenei nazionali ed internazionali per la durata di una settimana, durante la quale esperti del settore guidano discussioni ed analisi sull’argomento affrontato. E’ richiesta una partecipazione attiva: gli studenti vengono coinvolti anche nella realizzazione di scritti e presentazioni da esporre durante lo svolgimento delle successive lezioni. La partecipazione ad una Law School ELSiana, oltre a rappresentare una eccellente occasione per migliorare la propria cultura giuridica, dà la possibilità di entrare in contatto con studenti e giovani giuristi provenienti da altri Paesi, conoscere differenti culture e, soprattutto, di sperimentare in prima persona l’ELSA Spirit!
COME PARTECIPARE?
E’ importante rivolgersi al VPS&C locale e comunicargli la vostra intenzione di partecipare alla Law
School in modo che sia in grado di assistervi durante le procedure di iscrizione e in modo da verificare insieme la validità della vostra tessera di iscrizione. Le Summer Law School vengono pubblicizzate con largo anticipo ma le iscrizioni aprono circa un mese e mezzo prima dello svolgimento della stessa.

The european aspect is becoming more and more important question of each field of law. Many law offices create new jobs with specialisation on this topic. Bussiness law is another sphere, which faces globalisation mostly and the impact of the EU law on it is rising every year. We can be witnesses of creation of a new legal branch “European Business law”. The key to understand the core of this topic is to get familiar with the
International Private Law, Registered capital and accounting, the ECJ Case Law, Supranational companies and other similar legal issues. Due to this fact, ELSA Slovak republic, in cooperation with Department of
Commercial law of Comenius University, decided to organise Summer Law School on “European Company
Law”. Besides academic community, this topic is most frequent in international law offices and EU bodies, where many professionals work with these issues day to day. OC will therefore invite a variety of international guests from different countries, what will in the combination with young lawyers from Bratislava and Vienna create interesting and complex view of this developing area of law. Besides rich academic program, you can also look forward to plenty of different social activities, great clubs, lot of fun and Slovak cuisine. Organising such an event is a chance for us to increase good reputation about our professionals, level of education and hospitality.
These are the reasons, why SLS in Bratislava will be unforgettable for you!

Sarajevo Summer Law school 2014 is the first one. But, have no doubt, it will be a good one. With special attention to our current IFP and big buzz over protection of privacy online, we prepared a topic we are all burning to know more about „Media law and international standards on information access“. Guaranteed good academic program with experts on media law is, still, not the only reason why you should be visting us. Sarajevo, heart of the heart-shaped country is, based on many relevant researches, the hidden yewel of Europe. It’s the borderline between East and West, it’s the crossroad where communism, otoman empire and Austro-Hungarian empire meet to have some kahva (coffee), Sacher cake and a nice warm conversation. But, don’t be mistaken, we are still very modern. As you will, hopefully, see for yourself.
