About the Guest booklet

This booklet contains an overview of the Interna-tional Bachelor of Law Programme of The Hague University of Applied Sciences and its Employment Network Event. We intend to highlight several as-pects of the programme and the students of particu-lar relevance and interest to prospective employers.It is a source of great pride for the students, facul-ty members and administrative staff alike that, just four years after its inception, our Law Programme was recognized in 2014 as the best Bachelor of Law Pro-gramme in the Netherlands. We, the organisers of the Employment Network Event, (the sole job fair organ-ised by a Dutch University focusing on Internation-al and EU law employment), are delighted to give the floor to the representatives of that professional and international programme of Law studies; the students.When the Employment Network Event was created in 2010, it was impossible to envision that it would not only generate enthusiasm and interest on the part of employers and potential employees, but also result in so many connections between the two, in-cluding more than 160 internship offers to our stu-dents both within and outside the Netherlands.

This year, 2015, we welcome all of you reading this booklet to the fourth annual Employment Network Event, organized with the ambition of facilitating con-tact between an even greater numbers of students and employers, as well as providing employers with a platform from which to raise awareness of their or-ganizations and stimulate interest in their activities. It is also an important opportunity for alumni to sup-port the university from which they obtained their first law degree and to forge an even stronger attachment between the students and potential partners of de-velopment of the International Bachelor of Law Pro-gramme to the city of The Hague, all the international organisations and the University of Applied Sciences.

We all wish you a pleasant and fruitful Employment Network Event 2015.

Preface of the Director of the Academy Public Management, Safety and LawEsteemed guests, dear students,

On behalf of the Academy Public Management, Safety and Law, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our guests here at the Employment Network Event 2015, organized by the International Bachelor of Law Program. Based in the city of Peace and Justice The Hague, this program is an ambitious Law Program within the Academy that strives to develop stu-dents into high quality professionals who can operate in an international market.

The Employment Network Event serves as a means to acquaint the students with poten-tial employers for their internship and further career opportunities. Moreover, it aims to acquaint employers to the International Bachelor of Law Programme and its skilled and motivated students, as well as cementing relationships between the Program and the work field. Both the Program and I are very pleased to see that the Network Employer Event has grown into an event that is beneficial to both students, employers and the program as a whole.

I would especially like to express our appreciation for the key note speakers who have volunteered to share their knowledge and experience with our students, as well as the many esteemed employers which are represented here today. Your valued presence forms the crucial link between the program and the employer market. As an Academy and a Pro-gramme, we are dedicated to educate the students in such a way that they can enter into your organization with the competences and skills that your require and expect.

The program for today includes an introduction to The Hague University and the Interna-tional Bachelor of Law Program, key note speeches and contributions from alumni. Last but not least, we invite you to participate in a meet and greet between employers and students on an individual basis.

Lastly, I would like to thank Mr Aurelien Lorange, Ms. Hyun Ju Park and Ms. Garcia-Porras of the External Relations Committee as well as the student ambassadors for their enormous efforts in making this event a success.

Also on behalf of the Programme Manager of the International Bachelor of Law program Ms. Hilde Cadenau, I wish all of our guests a successful and enjoyable day.

Welcome / Bienvenue / Welkom / Willkommen / الها / 欢迎你来 / добре дошъл / Witaj / Bine ai venit

I began lecturing in the Law Programme in 2011, as a result of my involvement with the International Criminal Bar, unhampered by preconceived notions about European trade or technical education and institutions. I continue to teach here, despite the 8,000 kilometres which separates me from my home in Canada for part of the year, for two significant reasons:

1) Firstly, the commitment of the students, characterized, almost without exception, by attitudes that do not convey entitlement. They are, by and large, gracious, diligent and quick to internalize the view that there is no magic formula to success, only a simple one; the ability to work conscientiously, efficiently and in a way that creates benefit for others and makes their efforts indispensable.

2) Secondly, the extraordinarily capable faculty, whose expertise and tireless efforts have ensured that the Law Programme at the Hague University is a place where reason and ingenuity prevail, pre-paring students for the real world in practical manner, unparalleled by law schools committed to a wholly academic approach.

Diversity and inclusiveness are unique resources at the disposal of the International and EU Law Programme. No-one can dispute their combined power. The students, faculty and staff originate from almost every corner of the globe. Given the many recent events that have cast a shadow on the potential for adherence to democratic principles and a peaceful existence, it is even more crucial that insight is developed into the existence of those whose cultures, languages, religions and legal traditions are different from our own. The inability of western countries to fully achieve the ideals of intellectual freedom and political liberty does not diminish the essential nature of these principles, so within the Law Programme, determined measures are taken to foster scrutiny and analysis in a culture of respect. The great diversity of the students and faculty is utilized in an all-encompassing manner, to accentuate the values which enable humanity to strive for justice, tolerance and lasting peace.

Thank you all for you interest and contribution to what promises to be a successful employment networking event and to the students who have toiled hard for this opportunity, many of whom, will no doubt, take leadership roles in their countries of origin.

Program based on 8 legal competences INTERNATIONALISATION

& PROFESSIONALISATION

“Since 2007 the International & EU Law programme has provided a four year course of legal study to an exceptionally international and multicultural student population. The setting for the LAW programme is a city, renowned for its international law heritage, as evidenced by the continuing presence of a myriad of international organisations with their headquarters or branch offices located here.In early 2000, the possibility of studying in International & EU law in English in the “legal capital of the world” was a distant dream, but through the efforts of a committed and productive faculty and staff, the LAW programme has set high and competitive standards of pro-fessionalism in the delivery of legal education. The practical focus of the Programme is to prepare students for the realities of the work-place and to be to be operational and competent after graduation at their working place.The Curriculum provides the opportunity to realize those practical goals by commencing with a strong, comprehensive foundation from which to understand and apply international and EU law in various ar-eas. In successive years, the Programme follows a progression from simple mastery of legal concepts to their more detailed analysis and then finally implementation in a legal setting, be it office, court room, arbitration table and boardroom. The students obtain greater and greater independence in their studies, contemplating that they will enter their career with the ability to perform with a high level of pro-fessionalism and solid legal foundation.Learning by doing is the tradition of the LAW programme and there-fore internship and work placements are essential for the accomplish-ment of our goal to advance knowledgeable legal professionals. That is one of the reasons why we are keen to ensure employers and students are both satisfied, so we can consistently build on the internationali-sation and professionalism, celebrated during the annual Employment

Network Event.”

TRAINING & EVALUATING THE RESEARCH SKILLS OF THE STUDENTS

“The students of the international bachelor of law program undergo rigorous training in academic research in the last years of their studies. The LL.B. Thesis constitutes the pinnacle of their research training. Students work for 6 months under the vigilant eye of their corresponding thesis supervisor on current topics of international, European and comparative law. In doing so, students demonstrate through their written and oral work their ability to engage in legal analysis and communication on topics closely connected to the problems that states, institutions and businesses face.

As regards the outcome of their endeavours, the record speaks for itself.”Dr. Michael Vagias - Thesis Coordinator

“Research at the University of Applied Sciences is rooted in ques-tions that are generated from professional practice. Law students develop the ability

to provide legal solutions to societal problems. In their course work and academic re-search training they learn to adopt a methodological approach to applying their knowledge of the law to carry out research into the operation of new and existing laws and regula-tions for clients or groups of clients. Student research is stimulated by lecturers who are also engaged in various research activities. Lecturers are encouraged to take part in the multi-disciplinary research groups around which research at The Hague University is organized. Each research group consists of a Lector and lecturer members. Of particular relevance to the Law programme are the research groups on European Integration led by Professor Jaap de Zwaan, the Lectorate of International Peace Justice and Security led by Prof Joris Voorhoeve and the Lectorate of International Cooperation led by Professor Jos Walenkamp. Research carried out by law lecturers acts a bridge between the educational objectives of the university and the needs of the market. This is in keeping with the ambition of the university to profile itself as a knowledge center that is of relevance to private and public sector institutions. A recent example of such practice oriented research is the High Level Seminar at the Hague University (sponsored by OLAF - The European Anti-fraud office) on how to more effectively sanction corruption offences by multinational corporations. Lecturers of the law programme have published numerous books as well as articles in international journals. They present papers and seminars across the globe and have con-ducted workshops and training programs for Judges and other government officials. Some lecturers also maintain blogs about their research to reach a broader audience. Lecturers are often invited speakers at professional conferences and are themselves members of professional associations as well as national and international bodies.

The cycle of research completed to the benefit of all stakeholders in the Law program. As lectures engage in research, they train students to engage in future research. Law lectur-ers teach what they research and through their research engage in the broader issues that

are of concern to professional practice and ultimately to society in general.”Dr. Abiola Makinwa - Lecturer & Researcher

“Students of the LAW Programme are required to write a detailed paper in year three, progressing to a thesis and its defence before graduation. These two elements of the Pro-

gramme are compulsory and are designed to foster the ability to communicate effectively in in the realm of legal English and analysis. They serve as a sound basis for those who may wish to with legal research in the future. During their studies, the students explore a wide range of topics and areas with diverse legal issues. The varied subject matter in the Programme engenders much curiosity and interest in writing on a particular field rather than another. We always emphasize to the students that some topics can be managed at their level, and some are not appropriate for a year three paper or thesis. Maintaining a good quality of analysis during the preparation of a research paper, in addition to providing logical and articulate legal arguments is not always an easy task for students reaching a Bachelor level. As mentors, we try to keep the attention of the students focused on the quality of their analysis, with a view to preparing them for the

writing likely required in their future career.”Dr. Eva Kassoti - Lecturer & Researcher

WORKING WITH EMPLOYERS THROUGH THE PROFESSIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

“The year of 2014 was a fresh start for the Professional Advisory Committee(PAC). Thanks to the PAC member’s, new collaborations were established in order to meet the professional profile of the international professional industry by incorporating experiences, knowledge, views and needs as expressed by PAC member’s organizations. We aimed at creating a committed group of professionals with whom our management team can consult on an ongoing basis to support our program through the systemic evaluation of our curriculum and the development of uniform intern competency standards. We will continue to measure the quality of our education provision through quality assurance, to ensure that it meets the desired standards. At the same time, to develop a strong set of competences which a legal professional or intern should possess to match the expectations

and needs of organizations within the LAW program’s professional network and to implement the standards that are set by the PAC. ”Catherine Garcia-Porras - Coordinator of the Professional Advisory Committee

Committee


“Employers have often expressed to those of us mentoring students in internship positions that they are very satisfied with the work of the students of the

LAW Programme. We are extremely appreciative of such feedback on the performance of the students. We constantly review our projects and the learning objectives in the courses to ensure the students are well-equipped for the demands of the workplace. It is gratifying for us is that em-ployers make frequent requests for more students of the LAW programme for internship positions in their offices. Law firms, companies, NGOs communicate with lecturers regularly to post internship offers on our “Blackboard” which is our intranet. Students often have the ability and motivation to send their applications to the employer on short notice to help initiate the interview process in an expeditious manner. This cooperation is useful for us because we know better what the needs on

the workfield are”William T. Worster - Lecturer

“The goal of employment workshops held for students every year is to prepare them to face an internship or an employment interview during or immediately following grad-

uation. It is important that students familiarize themselves with the usual steps and documents re-quired to concisely and accurately convey their capabilities, strengths and interests. They are taught the mechanics of preparing a professional resume, a well-structured cover letter, how to manage questions during Job interviews, to respect the dress-code and to create an online professional pro-file. Students display an ardent desire to impress the employers and the Employment Network Event provides that moment opportunity, with the chance to apply the skills acquired during the previous months. We try encourage students to maintain a focus on the job market while they are studying. They are made aware that styles of communication, formats and approaches differ depending on the country, the sector of activity and the degree of experience expected. Above all, students of the LAW Programme realize the necessity of an active role in securing an internship or employment of interest to them, and that complacency is not recommended if they hope to realize their career goals”

Aurelien Lorange - Co-founder & organiser of the Employment Network Events

“The Internship course consists of 100 consecutive or non-consecutive working days completed on the site of the employer in relation to the legal knowledge ac-

quired during the 4 years of studies in the LAW Programme. Students are expected to follow the instructions of the employer, while using and applying the competences acquired in the programme.During the internship, a member of the Faculty mentors the students and meets the employer to discuss the performance of the student. We invite and welcome employers to visit the university and to the Professional Advisory Committee meetings and/or the Employment Network Event. In this way, we maintain a continuous dialogue and exchange of ideas in order to improve the curriculum, the internship course, and the overall preparation of students for entry into the workforce and the attainment of a successful career.”

David den Dunnen - Internship coordinator & Co-founder of Employment Network Events

“In Year 1 and in Year 2, students are divided into tutor groups of approx-imately 15 students and meet their tutor each week; over 32 times during the academic

year, to discuss assignments, project tasks, study techniques and to receive career coaching.These tutorials sessions are essential, not only as an effective method to provide support to the students in regard to their studies, but also to create a similar atmosphere to what they may en-counter in the daily life of a legal officer in a company, a law firm, a public authority or an associa-tion. The conscientious performance of Individual tasks and team work are both emphasized. Stu-dents are taught the skills required to draft contracts, demand letters, speeches, memorandum, and to engage in the various steps of negotiation, arbitration and the conduct of a case in a courtroom, with a view to exposing them to the obligations they may have to undertake during a legal career. Tutors, at the LAW Programme, have diverse professional backgrounds, including, private practice, prosecutors, lobbyists, researchers, academics, with many having worked or still working in a variety of organisations and institutions. They all regard students as potential employees of these places.”

NETWORKING WITH ALUMNI

“In 2011, the first students graduated from the International & EU law Programme. Some attended Maastricht University, others travelled to the United Kingdom to pursue a Master’s degree in law and since that date students graduating have enhanced their career prospects or begun working in a variety of positions within and outside the European Union. Now in 2015, alumni have found

employment or further academic opportunities around Europe and the globe, with more than 17 countries welcoming these young professionals.Upon the completion of their studies alumni often return to visit their former lecturers and colleagues at The Hague University. They value the relationships built during their time at the University and the connection to those who supported their entrance into the professional world. They also consider it important to share their experiences; both success and mistakes, with the new generation of students. As the network expands we are happy to see more and more of the students them graduating from prestigious universities and obtaining fascinating employment prospects. We keep are

committed to maintaining contact and inviting our graduates to the Employment Network Event, which is a moment of recognition for their perseverance and ongoing contribution.
