Transnational Law Program (TLP) Tenth anniversary

LEARNING (IN) THE GLOBAL LEGAL ENVIRONMENT28th November 2018 at 15.00Room B, Palazzo di Giurisprudenza via Verdi 53, Trento (Italy)

The increasingly globalized world poses a number of challenges to jurists. Whether it be a lawyer or an academic, any jurist nowadays faces the novelty of the law being not only a national or even a supranational matter, but one of the dimensions of a new legal order, that has increased as a global phenomenon. This is creating new opportunities for law graduates, but preparation and knowledge are more and more required to understand and handle such a new legal environment.

This academic event is firstly meant to provide law students with a reflection on democracy, an important aspect of the global order. The dimensions of democracy will be analysed in the Opening Speech of one of the leading experts of globalization in Europe, Prof. Sabino Cassese. Secondly, three leading law professors and deans, having a notable experience in legal education, will discuss different models and solutions for training law students to the global order.

The event celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Transnational Law Program, the first training program for jurists, lawyers particularly, fluent in multiple legal systems, initiated in 2008 thanks to a cooperation among European and overseas universities.
