Grande Ecole du Droit International and comparative legal studies
An international curriculum in Law2014/2015
Member of Ernst & Young Global LimitedIn partnership with
Editorial from Véronique Magnier, Professor of LawDirector of la Grande Ecole du Droit, Director of the Master 2 Business, Tax & Financial law Paris-Saclay University
La Grande Ecole du Droit” developed both on the US model of teaching through scholastic education and theFrench model of the “Grandes Ecoles” regarding its selectivity, the practice of foreign languages, and also theprofessionalization gained through our partnerships with an internationally recognized law firm, and reinforcedby the unique quality of university education in legal disciplines.
Within these couple of pages, you will discover some aspects of this project. We know that presentationdocument might still not meet your expectations. Therefore, with our representatives of the students’association, our professors and our partner “EY Société d’avocats”, I stand at your disposal for further informationand exchange with your teaching team, counselors, and parents and help you understand our curriculum.
Five years ago, I had the will to create a selective & international program for lawstudents. This was meant to allow students to both express their autonomy and, atthe same time, prepare them to spend a year in a university abroad and attendingan internationally recognized training in law, the LLM degree, preparing in paralleltheir Master 1 in Business and financial law.
As senior high school students, you will have to make a choice to identify universities where you would pursue your higher education.
A word from the educational director, Pauline Abadie, Lecturer at l’Université Paris-Sud
The International mobility of students is not only a wish of most Universities, butnow a priority for which we are deploying our best efforts. This is a mission ourprofessors are extremely invested in. We want to create a tailored environment forworldwide students but also prepare them to go abroad.
My conviction is even broader because of my personal and professional experience
Student and then teacher in the US, I use my knowledge of the academic system todevelop cooperation with some of the best Law Schools not only in North Americabut everywhere around the globe.
As a member of the education team of the “Grande Ecole du Droit” in which I teach American Law, in English, themajor issue I face is the introduction to the students of an interactive and critic learning of Law. We can also call it an“Anglo-Saxon” way of learning, which is required for transnational practice of Law today.
The “Grande Ecole du Droit”, managed by Professor Magnier, is one of the leading courses for international mobility.This formation helps promote our faculty abroad and is a real asset for the establishment of cooperation.
I hope that your commitment to excellence will meet the requirements for this degree.
La Grande Ecole du Droit in a nutshell

• A course of excellence in a world- renowned university: placed 42nd in the Academic Rankings of World Universities (Shanghai 2014).
• A strong commitment, starting their first year to facilitate the professional integration of our students.
• A school spirit within the GED, maintained during the 3 years of the bachelor’s degree… and beyond !

The development of a law firm like ours, today second on the French market by its size,and first international network in terms of contribution from business and tax lawcareers with a turnover from a multidisciplinary network, happens through qualityand commitment of its employees. Also their training in the early years at theUniversity, is a strategic challenge to enable us to recruit talent with a the stronginternational culture and a grand openness "to difference", beyond technicalexcellence in business law, tax or employment law.Furthermore, we work a lot with companies and the Institutions and know that jobs, otherthan the profession of lawyer, also allow living with passion these legal matters, whileasking the same cultural and technical agility.

Finally, as an employer to staff from the University and the Grandes Ecoles de Commerce, we have learned overtime what might be the advantages of each study course and have realized how much it was difficult todevelop a pedagogical ideal approach, with a cost suitable to all talents.Also, when the students of the Grande Ecole du Droit association came to meet us, we had, for the first time, theopportunity to work with them right from their first year after high school, with an exceptional teachingteam who pursued an socially open educational project, which was very close to ours. Indeed, currently, theonly existing programs on the French market concern students at a Masters level, therefore years of licensebeing "lost" to increase employability..It was therefore natural to bring to these future talents, with excellent studies, the tools that would allow themto grow professionally, as the Grandes Ecoles do, to arm them with "soft skills" and initiatives opportunities,which combined with the autonomy necessary to "survive" in a University, would make them law expertssought by our customers, our network in 140 countries and our colleagues.
