Approximately 240 international exchange students study at the faculty each year. The campus is situated in the city centre of Copenhagen in an area called the ”Latin Quarter” known for its lively atmosphere with an abundance of boutiques, cafés and night clubs. The Faculty of Law has a long history as it was among the four original faculties at the founding of the University of Copenhagen in 1479. Today, the Faculty of Law has about 75 full-time professors and associated professors, 40 Phd students and about 400 part-time external lecturers who teach both at bachelor and master level. The Faculty offers a strong international environment and is therefore able to attract academic staff from all over the world. Many of these have work and research experience from institutions like the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The external lecturers all have a law degree and work e.g. as lawyers, judges or heads of section in ministries. As an exchange student you will get to experience quite a variety with regard to the way classes are conducted at graduate level. Some lecturers prefer to give more traditional lectures when they have classes, other lecturers prefer to involve the students in discussions. The class size is max. 30 to 40 students per class. Both Danish and international students follow the courses offered in English - you will therefore get to meet both Danes and students from all over the world in class. The Englishtaught courses are conducted at an advanced academic level.

Denmark International Office in Copenhagen Email Address: [email protected] Homepage Info: http://international.ku.dk/ Application Deadlines • 1 May for applicants wishing to study in the autumn semester • 1 October for applicants wishing to study in the spring semester Reply Regarding Admission • In June for applicants wishing to study in the autumn semester • In late October for applicants wishing to study in the spring semester Nomination and Application Procedures An online nomination and application system is used which requires login and password on University Partners. Every year, usually in February or March we send revised information on login and password to all our partner universities. Once you have nominated your students, they will receive an invitation from the International Office in Copenhagen. We encourage you to nominate your students as soon as possible and then ask your students to complete their application forms as soon as possible in order to improve their chances of being given a housing offer in Copenhagen Academic Requirements for Admission and Course Offers In relation to admission criteria, we are generally quite flexible - meaning that international exchange students who have previously followed a full law program as a minimum for 1½ years or preferably 2 years or more will obtain admission as exchange students to our master level courses. Danish students have, however, studied law for 3 years before they enter these courses, so the academic level offered to exchange students will correspond to master level studies. This means that law students would be able to obtain admission here with 3 semesters of full time law studies and get access to our master courses, although they have not completed an LLB. Generally, all law courses taught in English are Master Level courses. However, lately a few bachelor level courses taught in English have been offered to both bachelor and master level students. In relation to bachelor level courses, the requirements for master level students (and exchange students) are then a bit more comprehensive than the requirements for the bachelor students. Language Requirements The English-taught courses are conducted at an advanced academic level and you must therefore have a good command of English to be able follow courses and participate in group discussions. Courses Offered in English The course descriptions for the present academic year are available on http://jura.ku.dk/ english/education/introduction/courses/couses-offered. Around mid or late April the course descriptions for the coming academic year will be announced on the same webpage. Approximately 30 master level courses taught in English are offered each semester in addition to approximately 70 Danish master level courses. Additional information is available on http://jura.ku.dk/english/education/introduction, click on ”courses offered”. The majority of our law courses have the value of 10 ECTS, but a few law courses may be offered with the value of 15 ECTS, 20 ECTS or 30 ECTS. Exchange students are expected to take a full study load of 30 ECTS in one semester. The Danish Grading Scale Read about the Danish grading scale and types of exams on: http://jura.ku.dk/english/education/introduction/studying-at-the-faculty Arrival and Living in Copenhagen Semester Dates at the Faculty of Law The autumn semester starts on 1 September 2014 and will run until the beginning of December. Exams start in December and are completed just before the Christmas holiday. The spring semester starts on 2 February 2015 and will run until mid-May. Exams start in midMay and continue until the end of June 2015. Arrival / Introductory Programme The Faculty of Law arranges an international study start programme for all new exchange and LLM students in the beginning of each new semester. The programme will contain study-related sessions and social events. We strongly encourage all international students to participate in this programme which is scheduled to take place during the first two weeks of each semester. The Mentor Programme A Mentor is a student who volunteers to help with practical matters in connection with the arrival of the exchange student; e.g. picking up keys for the accommodation, assisting with applying for a CPR number (Danish personal identity number) with the Danish authorities, etc. Students must tick-off the Mentor option in the online application. You can find contact details on Mentor Coordinators here.

U N IV ER S IT Y O F CO PEN HA G EN Changes in University of Copenhagen housing service Dear Partner University University of Copenhagen has made significant changes in the housing services and administration for international students and researchers, and we would like to inform you of these changes. University of Copenhagen Housing Foundation (UCPH Housing Foundation) is an independent entity which will provide housing services to international students and researchers coming to University of Copenhagen. This will be the only entity providing housing services to exchange students. Housing service in various parts of the university such as at The International Office and at the Housing Department of the Faculty of Science that have previously provided exchange students with housing is being transferred to the UCPH Housing Foundation. New application procedure The UCPH Housing Foundation will introduce a new online housing application system by mid-November 2013. Application for housing will no longer be an integrated part of the application for admission. It will be an independent application process. 16 OCTOBER 2013 UNIVERSITY EDUCATION SERVICES THE INTERNATIONAL OFFICE FRUE PLADS 4 DK- 1168 COPENHAGEN K In the UCPH Housing Foundation online system students will be able to view and read about the housing options available to them and make choices based on their preferences for location, price etc. In regards to the spring semester 2014, exchange students will receive an email invitation with information on how and when to apply online for housing.

Credit transfer lies within the discretion of the EBS partner institution. Students are advised to contact their study abroad advisor. Visa and Immigration Visa general information All exchange students are required to investigate whether they need a visa to study in Germany or not! Please contact the nearest German embassy or consulate in your home country in this matter. If a visa is required, the students should calculate 10-12 weeks’ time to apply for it. If students apply for their visa too late, EBS has NO possibility to speed up the visa process! If students do not receive their visa in time for semester start they will not be able to attend EBS! Type of visa Normally, the embassy will issue a “D” type student visa. This visa will be valid for 90 days only. After arrival at EBS, non-EUnationals are required to apply for a residence permit. Residence Permit The residence permit allows students to stay for more than 90 days. EBS International Programmes Team will distribute all necessary information on this process during the induction days (participation mandatory). Students should note that to apply for a residence permit the authorities will collect their original passports for a period of ca. 3 weeks! Thus, the student cannot leave Germany for 3 weeks! Students should not schedule any international travel during this period of time! Health Insurance General information By law, all students MUST have sufficient health cover for their stay in Germany to become registered as a student at a German university and / or apply for a student visa / residence permit. EU-students EU-students are normally sufficiently covered by their national insurance plan. Please submit a copy of your European Health Insurance Card (front and back page!) valid for your entire stay at EBS. EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 3 65189 Wiesbaden Germany Telefon +49 611 7102 1568 Fax +49 611 7102 10 1568 [email protected] www.ebs.edu Non-EU-students Non-EU-students should be careful in selecting a health insurance plan as it has to satisfy the very strict requirements of the university AND the immigration office (for visa/residence permit application). We strongly recommend to purchase full German student health coverage for their semester at EBS. All public German Insurance provides offer the same, comprehensive services for the same price (ca. 78 EUR per month). To apply for coverage Barmer for example offers a very convenient email application service: • Barmer: please contact Mr. Oliver Weick at Barmer Insurance: [email protected] or +49-(0)611-3571-51-6001. • Other public insurance providers in our area are for example TK (www.tk.de), AOK (www.aok.de) or DAK (www.dak.de). If you do not want to get full German health coverage, please take note of the following matters: • other plans may be cheaper but they provide less comprehensive coverage and mostly you have to pay all treatments in advance before being able to reclaim some of the costs! • after arrival you need to get your insurance plan validated with a public insurance provider: they have to confirm that your coverage equals their comprehensive plans! • the immigration office that decides over your visa and residence application is extremely STRICT which plans they accept! Most international plans are NOT sufficient for them! If a student hands in a plan not accepted by the immigration office, it will be rejected and the visa application will be halted. This may cause several weeks delay in the visa process and result in a student not being able to arrive in time for semester start. If you are staying for only one term and decide to reject full student health coverage plans, we strongly recommend one of the following plans as they are acceptable for the immigration office and validation: • Caremed: www.caremed-travelinsurance.com • Victoria: https://portal.versicherungsdienste.de/dsw-studentenkv/index.en.html Please note that travel insurances (= only emergency treatments) are IMMEDIATELY REJECTED BY THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE! Also, they only accept insurance documents issued in EITHER GERMAN OR ENGLISH!

Students need to officially register for exams on official dates in order to allow the grade registration. The exam format may vary: even though exams are usually written, some courses may have an oral exam; the format might also include assignments and midterm exams. Since each course may be different, we suggest that students carefully read the final detailed syllabus of the course, usually made available at the beginning of the semester and always discuss those details with the lecturer. Grading: grading is essentially based on the result of the final exam. In some courses, the final grade might be the result of different elements such as group work, assignments, essays and class participation. Students should always clarify with the lecturer the exam rules as well as the weight of class discussions and assignments (e.g. group work) on the final grade. Transcripts: an electronic pdf file is emailed directly to the International Office of the partner universities at the end of each semester. Hard copies can be mailed upon request.

VISA STUDENTS FROM EU-COUNTRIES and citizens of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland do not require a visa to enter Spain. All you need is a national identification card or passport. STUDENTS FROM NON-EU-COUNTRIES All applicants from Non-EU nations need a visa to study in Spain. In order to get a visa, all students must apply at the embassy or consulate of Spain in their home country at least 2 months ahead of time. The documentation that you may be required to present when applying for a Student Visa includes: • Passport • Passport-size photos • Proof of financial means • Admission Letter from ESADE • Proof of medical insurance including repatriation • Proof of Accommodation* *Please contact [email protected] for this document. Law International Relations Unit • Other documentation specific to your situation NOTE: In the past, some Spanish Consulates have instructed students who are coming to Spain for only three months to come on a Tourist Visa rather than a Student Visa. A Tourist Visa is valid for 90 days and may be easier to obtain. Follow the advice of the Consulate. If you plan to travel outside of Spain during the period shown on your Student Visa, be sure to ask for a multiple-entry visa. Even then, there is no guarantee that you will get it. If you do not need a visa to enter Spain, you can stay in the country / the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180 days without a visa. If you enter Spain on a Tourist Visa or without a visa, you may not be able to extend your stay beyond the 90-day limit. In the event that you decide to stay longer than 90 days, you may be required to return to your home country to apply for the Student Visa there. Keep your plane ticket stub or receipt in case you need to prove date of entry and your passport is not stamped on entering Spain or the Schengen Area, However, be warned that you may be required to return to the airport to get the stamp. If you are living outside your home country when you apply for a Student Visa, the Spanish Embassy or Consulate in the country where you are currently residing may require you to return to your home country to apply for the Student Visa. Do not assume that you will be able to obtain a Student Visa from a Spanish Embassy or Consulate outside your home country. Here’s a link to the Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación where you can find information about Spanish Consulates and Embassies around the world: http://www.maec.es/en/EYC/Paginas/embajadas-consulados.aspx 2. HOUSING ESADE does not have housing facilities for students in Barcelona – Pedralbes but students are welcome to stay at the Residencia Sarria, which is a 15 minute walk down to the Pedralbes campus and about 25 minutes to the Sarrià FGC station. Law International Relations Unit There is a large amount of available housing in Barcelona, but it can be relatively expensive and it takes time to find. Looking for an apartment on your own requires knowledge of the different areas (barrios) in Barcelona because prices can vary substantially from one area to another. It is highly recommended that you plan to arrive in Barcelona at least one week prior to the start of your programme to locate accommodation. With this in mind you should book a room in a hotel, hostel or student residence for this initial period before arriving. The neighbourhoods which are most popular with ESADE students are Gràcia, Sant Gervasi, Sarria and l’Eixample; Les Corts and Sants are also conveniently located.

Aksoy Yavaş, LL.B. 2008 Yeditepe University FACULTY OF LAW Information about Yeditepe University Faculty of Law Yeditepe University Faculty of Law has the most extensive network of links with other European law schools. In fact the number of Erasmus Agreements signed by Yeditepe University Faculty of Law is increasing rapidly. At the time of drafting, the number was more than eighty. In addition to Erasmus Agreements, Yeditepe University Faculty of Law has a number of agreements and “Memorandums of Understanding” with other law schools, in particular in the United States, United Kingdom, China, Russian Federation, Ukraine and India. We certainly welcome all the proposals we receive. As a matter of principle, we decide to enter into such Agreements if we believe that there will be a meaningful exchange which will be beneficial for both sides and a “framework” for cooperation may be created. It should be added that, in the event that there are applications from students who attend a university in another European country which does not yet have an Erasmus Agreement with us, we would welcome such applications under certain conditions. Indeed, we would consider all applications with an open mind and accept students from universities across the world to spend a semester at Yeditepe whereby they may take courses with our students. However, in such a case, the financial aspects of the Erasmus program would not be available to the student. From time to time, Yeditepe University Law Faculty receives requests from law students in the United States who wish to take law courses at Yeditepe University Law Faculty for a year and have the credits accepted in their own law schools. Thus, a number of leading law schools in the United States allowed their students to spend one academic year at Yeditepe University Law Faculty and recognized the credits they received at Yeditepe. Furthermore,in order to enable the Erasmus students to choose from a wide variety of courses, Yeditepe Law Faculty has decided to allow them to take graduate law courses, offered under LL.M. or Ph.D. programmes within the Institute of Social Sciences. Thus, Erasmus students have a chance to select courses from either graduate or undergraduate law programmes. In addition to the courses given above, it is possible to take some toher undergraduate law courses (elective courses such as Human Rights, Transportation Law, etc.) in Spring Semesters. Main Turkish Law courses such as Civil Law, Inheritance Law, Law of Property, Law of Obligations (Contracts), Commercial Law, Company Law, Civil Procedure Law, Law of Enforcement and FACULTY OF LAW Bankruptcy, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure Law and others are naturally given in Turkish. However, a number of Erasmus students (coming mainly from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and who are of Turkish origin) wish to take Turkish Law courses. By doing so, not only they improve their mother tongue but also acquire an in-depth analysis of various aspects of Turkish Law, which would be extremely useful for them when they practice. Yeditepe University Law Faculty encourages students of Turkish origin to take such courses so that they obtain maximum benefit from their stay at Yeditepe. They are also allowed to audit a number of other courses without registering officialy. Incoming Erasmus students may consider taking courses from other Faculties or Departments at Yeditepe University, in addition to the above-mentioned law courses, as Yeditepe University has all the Faculties that a University should have. Some of the Faculties/Departments in which a law student may decide to take a course are: Public Administration, International Relations and Political Science, Business, Economics, Philosophy, History, Anthropology, Fine Arts, Gastronomy. Accommodation Student Residential Halls at Yeditepe are generally called “Student Hotel”. However, campus accommodation at Yeditepe is not easy to get. Even though there are more than 8000 places available, those who wish to stay in campus accommodation should apply well in advance. Two students stay in each room and the rooms have private WC, shower, refrigerator, telephone, internet connection and all the facilities of a three/ four-star hotel). The University also has accommodation facilities at Acibadem, near the Nautilus Shopping FACULTY OF LAW and Entertainment Center, which is five minutes walk to Kadıkoy where regular boat service is available to the European side (in particular to Karakoy, Beşiktaş and Eminonu). The terminal for fast Sea-Buses, with services to Bakırköy (near Atatürk Airport), is also within a walking distance. It should be added that students may of course decide to rent a flat outside the campus, together with several friends. Location of Yeditepe University Yeditepe University 26 AUGUST CAMPUS is located on the Anatolian side of Istanbul. The campus is only fifteen minutes drive to the “cadde” or “street” as students refer to the residential area around Bagdad Street, which is a prestigous avenue with top restaurants, cafes, clubs and well known shops. Commuting in Istanbul is a big problem as the city is located on a very large area. From one side of Greater Istanbul Municipality to the other, one may have to drive up to seventy or eighty kilometers. Therefore, the best way to live in Istanbul is to have your home near where you work or study, in order to avoid the traffic jams on two intercontinental bridges linking Istanbul. Sports Yeditepe campus has: 550 square meters indoor basketball court with seating facilities, and 620 square meters outdoor basketball courts, Outdoor volleyball and tennis courts, Indoor and outdoor half Olympic sized swimming pools, 300 square meters fully equipped fitness and aerobics center, and other various sport facilities. University Library The Library is located on the first floor of the Rectorate building on the 26 August Campus of the University. It occupies 5.000 square meters covered area. It provides extensive reading areas, group discussion and study rooms, etc. The Center is equipped with about 100 computers with Internet access. It has a seating capacity of 500 users. The library has 3000 periodicals with subscriptions to databases, some periodicals, the Official Gazette, and daily newspapers and magazines. In the library collection there are several hundred compact discs, Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations. There are about 685 reference sources like dictionaries, encyclopedias, law databases (such as westlaw, HeinOnline, SwissLex, Beck-Online, LexisNexis) etc. The number of books, periodicals and other materials is rapidly growing. At present, the Library has a staff of highly knowledgeable 20 librarians and 15 Students Assistants. The Library gives service to more than 20.1 students and about 1000 faculty and administrative staff. Whereas many libraries are open only between 9.00-16.30 hours, Yeditepe University Library opens its doors at 8.30 in the morning and allows researchers to work in the library until midnight, including sundays. FACULTY OF LAW Why Study in Istanbul? Istanbul is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is also the largest city in Europe. Nowhere in the world you can have all the following at once: a strait like Turkish straits (Bosphorus linking the Black Sea via the Sea of Marmara to the Agean and Mediterrenean), the Golden Horn lying between both sides of old Istanbul, five islands (so-called Princess Islands) only twenty minutes from the nearest shore, and the treasures of historical and architectural masterpieces ranging from St. Sophia to Blue Mosque, from Topkapı Palace to Hidiv Kiosk. Indeed Istanbul is a city which served as the capital of three civilizations, three empires: Eastern Roman Empire, Byzantine and Ottoman Empire. In fact it is the city where the Code Justinian was prepared and enacted. (Every year, students of Loyola University School of Law, together with their professors, visit Istanbul and Yeditepe after their visit to Rome, as part of their study tour of Roman Law and History of Law.) For further information, please contact the International Office at + 90 216 578 0614/15 or [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Cultural Activities in Istanbul While in Istanbul, you certainly would not want to miss any of the activities taking place in this swinging metropolis. There are so many concerts, operas, jazz or film festivals and other events taking place in Istanbul that we can hardly claim to give you an exhaustive list. However, Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts organizes a number of annual or bi-annual festivals of different sorts. One of these is the forthcoming International Istanbul Music Festival which will take place between June 5th and 30th in 2009. This year it is the 37th year.. So we will leave this text even after that date-as it will take place each year so that you FACULTY OF LAW will have an idea what kind of activities o expect the coming years. Some of the events, like a very famous opera is performed in the heart of Topkapı Palace. Which opera? Entführung aus der Seraglio which in fact takes place in that very Palace of the Ottoman Sultans. Some concerts take place at Saint Irene Church which is located in the outer court-yard of the Topkapı Palace... which has an excellent acoustics. Some concerts are performed at the famous Rumeli Fortress (Castle) - Rumeli Hisarı in Turkish, on the shores of Bosphorus Strait. Not only popular singers, pop stars perform there. When a Shakespeare play, Corialanus is performed there the historic castles surrounding the stage may be surrounded by soldiers with burning fires meşale in their hands. Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall is a place which you might like to visit from time to time, all year long and not only during the festival periods as world known artists perform there. We should not forget the Open-air Theatre or Açık Hava Tiyatrosu which during summer months welcomes many groups, famous singers, jazz festivals etc. Lütfi Kırdar Convention Center should also be checked from time to time. As Istanbul became the most favorite place for international conventions this Convention Center may not always be open for concerts. However, when it is there are many unforgettable performances in this modern Hall. Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts also organizes jazz festivals, film festivals and many other events. Therefore, it is always good to check their web pages to get most current information. As the recently renovated historical Süreyya Operet Building in Kadıköy-which is half an hour drive from our campus on Bahariye Street between Altıyol (which actually means Six Roads as six streets meet in this square where there is a statute of a Bull) and Moda is now the home of Istanbul Opera as the AKM Atatürk Kültür Merkezi (Atatürk Cultural Center) is temporarily closed in preparation for the 2010 as Istanbul is designated ”European Culture Capital”. Tickets at Süreyya Operet Building is extraordinarily cheap as its subsidized by public funds. Bostancı Gösteri Merkezi is another Hall where performances like Anatolian Sun and other dance groups take place. Main Contributions of Turkey’s Membership to the EU Turkish people feel European, Turkey is member of all European organisations and in the process of membership negotiations with the European Union. The challenge for both the EU and Turkey is now to transform Turkey’s political, economic, social and cultural potential into assets for Europe’s future. STUDY LAW WHERE THE EUROPEAN LEGAL SYSTEM ORIGINATES: ISTANBUL – WHERE JUSTINIAN CODE WAS WRITTEN. As it is well known by all of you, the legal systems of all Continental European countries are based on Roman Law. Istanbul, being the Capital of Eastern Roman Empire, was the center where the Roman Law was codified. Thus the origins of European Law is based on a Code drafted in Istanbul. As Max Radin notes in his book entitled Handbook of Roman Law, 1927: reform. Two great law schools, one at Beirut and one at Istanbul, had worthily maintained the standard of legal scholarship, and these institutions made the projected reform possible. On February 13, 528, Justinian established a commission of ten to amalgamate the existing three Codes.” The result was Codex Justinianus – Code of Justinian Corpus iuris civilis… Yeditepe Üniversitesi, 26 Ağustos Yerleşimi, İnönü Mahallesi, Kayışdağı Caddesi 34755 Ataşehir / İstanbul Phone: +90 216 578 00 00 • Fax: +90 216 578 02 44 www.yeditepe.edu.tr UK&I –Edinburgh/Glasgow – Birmingham/Nottingham - Dublin UK&I: University of Edinburgh www.ed.ac.uk Key Facts The University of Edinburgh is an ancient university, founded in 1583, located in the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland’s vibrant capital city.

The course consists of the following seven modules which are taught by the respective specialists: • Survey Class (Prof. Epiney/Stöckli) • Swiss Public Law (Prof. Hänni) • Swiss Contract and Tort Law (Prof. Probst/Werro) • Swiss Civil Code (Prof. Pichonnaz) • Swiss Criminal Law (Prof. Niggli / Fiolka) • International Law in the Swiss Legal Order (Prof. Besson) • Swiss Tax Law (Prof. Hinny) • Swiss Commercial Law (Prof. Stoffel) • Switzerland and the European Union (Prof. Epiney) In order to give the students a chance to follow the "Blockkurse"/"Cours blocs" in weeks 1-3 of the semester, the course will start in the fourth week of the fall semester. It will from then take place every Monday from 3:15pm to 6pm. NB: Please note that the course is exclusively open to exchange students at the University of Fribourg (regular students are not admitted to this course). Goals: Students gain insight into the most important areas of Swiss Law. Students learn about the main sources of law (enacted law and decisions of the Federal Supreme Court). Students learn about the specificities of Swiss Law in comparison to foreign legislations. The acquired knowledge enables students to critically compare and contrast rules of substantive Swiss Law with the law of their home countries. FACULTÉ DE DROIT / Université de Fribourg The Faculty of Law’s Erasmus and International Relations Office 06.05.2013 Examination Students take a 2-hours written examination, comprised of three theoretical questions and one casestudy. Materials Documentation will be made available in the respective course on the platform "moodle2". “Public Economic Law in the EU” (Semester course) University of Fribourg – Fall 2013 Prof. Dr. Sarah Progin-Theuerkauf Dr. Markus Kern Description European Union law is increasingly responsible for the shape and process of the regulatory dynamics of public economic law in Europe. In fields such as the regulation of financial markets or of energy-, telecommunication- and transport-networks EU-law exerts a strong influence both on the concrete drafting of legal norms, but also on their underlying general approach and the basic “philosophy” of regulation. The semester course “Public Economic Law in the European Union” has two main focuses: On the one hand, we will address and discuss regulation in selected fields such as energy, transport, telecommunication and finance with a special emphasis on their implications for Swiss law. On the other hand, we will analyze current regulatory trends and approaches of EU-law, such as market opening, deregulation, unbundling of infrastructure and services, re-regulation or the establishment of independent regulatory authorities. Goals: • Students gain insight into the handling and the instruments of economic regulation. • They acquire a general understanding of regulation in EU-law in the considered fields as well as of the predominant regulatory approaches in the EU. • They acquire knowledge about the main sources of regulation and gain the capacity to analyze and solve elementary regulatory problems independently. • Building upon general knowledge acquired in the course, students are capable of following and critically assessing future developments of public economic law in the EU. • The course constitutes a qualification for professional activity with regulatory authorities, regulated undertakings as well as for independent legal practice in the fields studied. Examination The assessment will take the form of a written exam (consisting of a case-study and shorter questions; duration: 2h) Materials Documentation will be made available on “moodle”. FACULTÉ DE DROIT / Université de Fribourg The Faculty of Law’s Erasmus and International Relations Office 06.05.2013 “European and Swiss Competition Law” (Semester Course) University of Fribourg - Fall 2013 Prof. Walter Stoffel Description This course gives an overview of competition law. It focuses on European competition law and compares it to Swiss law throughout the course, with occasional outlooks at other competition law systems, especially of the United States. The course is divided into two parts. The first part analyses the institutional and procedural framework, quite different in the European Union and in Switzerland. The second part deals with substantive competition law where an increasing convergence of the systems can be observed since five or ten years. Based on case studies, the course presents the three pillars of competition law, i.e. agreements restricting competition (both horizontal and vertical), abuse of dominance and - to a lesser extent - merger control. The course is taught in the form of an intensive semester course. The reading materials include articles and cases, which are to be read beforehand and form the basis of the discussion in class. Interventions by competition law practitioners will take place at different occasions. Goals The course’s goals are threefold: • to give to the student a knowledge of the institutional framework of European and Swiss competition law • to give to the student a general knowledge of the principal concepts governing anticompetitive behaviour • to make the student aware of the specificities of a subject implying legal as well as economic concepts Examination The exam is an oral exam of fifteen minutes, based on a short hypothetical case of some ten lines, prepared immediately before the exam. The hypothetical case is presented in English, but students may answer in English, French, or German at their convenience. “International Responsibility” (Semester course) University of Fribourg - Spring 2014 Prof. Samantha Besson Descriptif / Description This Master semestrial course pertains to the concept, regime and mechanisms of international responsibility of States, but also of International Organizations and Private Persons.

FACULTÉ DE DROIT / Université de Fribourg The Faculty of Law’s Erasmus and International Relations Office 06.05.2013 “Privacy – A Comparative Law Approach” (Semester course) University of Fribourg - Spring 2014 Prof. Christiana Fountoulakis Description The course focuses on the protection of individual privacy in different legal systems. The importance and the meaning of “privacy” in Western European, Anglo-American and other legal cultures will be discussed on the basis of selected cases and articles. We will see the different facets of privacy and the extent to which each of it is legally protected under the various laws. It will also be shown that, under some laws, privacy is considered as an independent legal right, whereas in other countries no legal action can be brought for invasion of privacy. A further key aspect will be the protection of the personal sphere at the age of internet. New technologies allow for arguably unlimited collection, sharing and storage of personal information. We will examine whether some laws are more concerned than others about these developments and whether there are common approaches, comparable legislation or similar case law. Goals The students will be familiar with the Swiss, foreign and international case law and legislation discussed in class. They will be able to describe the similarities and differences regarding the protection of privacy under the different laws and draw conclusions from this comparison. The students are expected to have done the recommended reading and to actively participate in class. Examination There will be a final oral exam of 15 minutes at the end of the course. “International Criminal Justice – Justice pénale internationale” (Block course) University of Fribourg – Fall 2013 Prof. Samantha Besson Dr. Guénaël Mettraux Descriptif / Description This Master block course aims at providing students with a concrete and contextualized understanding of the role, functioning and legitimacy of international criminal justice.

FACULTÉ DE DROIT / Université de Fribourg The Faculty of Law’s Erasmus and International Relations Office 06.05.2013 “Contracts: From National to Transnational and European Law” (Block course) University of Fribourg – Fall 2013 Prof. Franz Werro Prof. Pascal Pichonnaz Description This course consists of an in depth study of contract law, both form a doctrinal and practical point of view. The course tackles classical contract questions (such as formation, mistake, remedies) and highlights differences and convergences between the civil law and the common law tradition on the basis of practical cases. At the same time, this analysis reflects some of the issues faced in the process of European private Law unification. Some time is also devoted to the drafting techniques of contracts, again comparing Anglo-American with civilian approaches. Practicing attorneys will join the course to illustrate those approaches. Professor Geoffrey Samuel (University of Kent) joins for part of the lectures. Goals The course mainly aims at assimilating similarities and differences between the Common Law and Civil Law systems, within the perspective of European Law private Law unification efforts. Through studying some Contract Law institutions, the students will deepen their knowledge of Swiss Contract Law and also get acquainted with legal comparison. Examination Two hours written exam. Documentation P. Legrand / G. Samuel, Introduction au common law, Collection Repères, éd. La découverte, Paris 2008. The materials will be given on the first day of the course, and will be made available on “moodle”. “Comparative Constitutional Law” (Block course) University of Fribourg - Spring 2014 Prof. Eva Maria Belser Description In this course, students will analyse constitutional matters such as government systems, judicial review, checks and balance arrangements, and human rights protection form a comparative perspective. We will first focus on fundamental constitutional values, such as individual freedom rights, and examine how these values are protected and promoted in different constitutional systems. By analysing constitutional texts, cases and further materials (for instance in the field of free speech, freedom of religion and nondiscrimination) we will aim at better understanding different human rights concepts and concretisation mechanisms as well as common features of different legal systems and contexts. We will then turn to FACULTÉ DE DROIT / Université de Fribourg The Faculty of Law’s Erasmus and International Relations Office 06.05.2013 constitutional principles such as democracy, the rule of law, federalism and decentralisation and familiarize ourselves with different ways to organise public participation, to protect common interests and to set up a system of horizontal and vertical power sharing. In doing so, we will also try to better understand how different constitutional systems are affected by and react to increasing internationalisation of fragmentation of law and society. Throughout the course, we will discuss methodological matters of comparative law and improve our knowledge in the general theory of the state. The main focus of the course will be on the following constitutional systems: Germany, France, Switzerland, USA, India, South Africa and Ethiopia but we will also look at some new or fragile states and at some states in transition (Kosovo, South Soudan, and Nepal, etc.). Time permitting we will moreover discuss some new challenges to constitutional law such as migration, erosion of state power, and the impact of new technologies on constitutional matters. Goals These are the main objectives of the course • students are familiar with comparative working methods; • students know various constitutions and court cases and are able to deal with different legal texts and cases; • students are aware of different human rights concepts and implementations mechanisms; • students are acquainted with different state organization systems and are able to grasp differences and commonalities; • students understand the importance of context to constitutional questions and answers Examination There will be an oral exam at the end of the course (15 minutes). Before the exam, students will have 15 minutes to prepare for the exam topics. They can take all documents and personal notes to the exam (open book). Materials At the beginning of the course, documents (constitutional texts) will be sold (costs: around 30.- CHF). Additional documents will be available on moodle. Please register before the beginning of the course ([email protected]). “Alabama Joint Offering” University of Fribourg – Spring 2014 Prof. Hubert Stöckli Description The academic program offered to visiting Alabama students includes Joint Offering classes.

It will start on May 12, 2013, and will last approximately two weeks. Additional information: [email protected]. FACULTÉ DE DROIT / Université de Fribourg The Faculty of Law’s Erasmus and International Relations Office 06.05.2013 “Federalism, Decentralisation and Diversity” (Summer University) University of Fribourg - Summer 2013 (19.08.2013 – 6.09.2013) Prof. Eva Maria Belser Description The Summer University on "Federalism, Decentralisation and Conflict Resolution" is an intensive threeweek course organised by the Institute of Federalism and aimed at students in law, economics, political and social sciences, and international relations from all over the world. This year's edition will take place from 20 August - 7 September 2012. The course, taught in English by faculty members and foreign experts, attracts every year around 40 students and young researchers from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. In addition, it is open for 10 master students of the Faculty of Law. The course “Federalism, Decentralisation and Conflict Resolution" focuses on a number of questions related to state organisation, power division and democratic governance in multicultural societies. Participants will first address the basic concepts and institutional principles of federalism and decentralisation and the opportunities these concepts offer for accommodating linguistic, religious, or ethnic minorities and for dealing with economic and social diversity. Participants will then get involved in country studies and case analyses. The focus will be on well established federal states (such as Switzerland, Germany, the US or Canada), new federal states (such as Belgium, Spain, Ethiopia or South Africa) and on post-conflict societies whose federal constitutions are not yet consolidated (such as Irak or Sudan). Participants will also discuss countries in conflict or recovering from conflict (such as Nepal or Nigeria) and get introduced to mechanism of conflict resolution and peace negotiation. The course offers the unique opportunity to discuss issues of self-determination and state-building with researchers from Kosovo or South Sudan, and to analyse different concepts of human rights and minorities protection with students and experts from China, the Philippines, South Africa or Canada. We therefore welcome Swiss master students who have good English language skills and who enjoy an international and interdisciplinary atmosphere. Participants will receive reading material before the beginning of the course and have to hand in a written paper. During the course, active participation is required. Please note: The Course is organised outside of the regular term (19 August - 6 September 2013). For further information: Check our website at www.unifr.ch/federalism or contact Yvonne Heiter-Steiner at [email protected]. Goals The participants understand the principles of federalism and decentralisation in conflict resolution. The newly acquired knowledge is transferred and has an impact on their daily work as academic or young professional. Examination At the end of the three weeks, there will be a written exam. Final grade will be calculated as following: • 2/6 Paper (taking into account the commentary) • 1/6 Entrance exam • 1/6 Participation during classes • 2/6 Final exam In order to successfully complete the Summer University, the participants must attend the whole course.

Treanor Georgetown Law “The Center for Transnational Legal Studies has inspired admiration throughout legal academia. Scholars and students from over 20 countries explore cross-border issues in classes where there is no ‘majority’ nationality, and each perspective is informed by all others. Gaining knowledge, skills, and a global network of colleagues, CTLS students are uniquely prepared for legal practice in the 21st century.” 1 Professor Ugo Pagallo University of Torino “My CTLS experience has been wonderful and unique: an extraordinary network of eleven law schools from four different continents giving for the first time the opportunity to consistently focus on the new transnational challenges of today’s legal systems for a whole term. From the introductory ‘global practice exercise’ to the weekly colloquia, students and faculty integrate their courses with a sound multi disciplinary approach. A series of social events renovates the original meaning of the word ‘university’ – which is in fact ‘community’ – making the ‘Center’ a benchmark for contemporary legal studies in our globalised world.” 2 A Global Partnership The London-based Center for Transnational Legal Studies, launched in 2008 and administered by Georgetown University Law Center staff, is a global partnership currently encompassing over 20 schools from five continents. The initiative is premised on a belief that, as legal practice becomes increasingly “transnational”, the best legal education must include exposure to ideas, faculty, and fellow students from many different legal systems. In 2011, CTLS was recognized by the Institute for International Education with the Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education. This is the first time that a legal education program has received this honor. a global PaRTNERshiP S imply put, leaders of the legal profession in this 21st century need to understand law within the context of different legal systems and different cultures. These lawyers will increasingly be called upon to advise businesses, individuals, non-governmental entities, and governments in matters that involve parties, laws, and judicial or arbitral bodies in two or more jurisdictions. To prepare for careers that transcend the borders of their home countries, they need to develop transnational perspectives. CTLS offers that preparation in a manner unlike any conventional “study abroad” or exchange program. The Center’s academic purpose is to examine transnational legal issues from within a transnational educational context. Thus, while the school is located in London and instruction takes place in English, there is no “host school,” “local faculty,” or “domestic legal context.” Instead, faculty and students alike are drawn from a range of world-class law schools located in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas. All are encouraged to share their own “home jurisdiction” perspectives on academic and other issues. Some courses are co-taught by two instructors, specifically to explore the contrasts in such perspectives. Others include projects structured to facilitate collaboration by students from different backgrounds. The Center’s 4 CENTER foR TRaNsNaTioNal lEgal sTudiEs small size and multicultural orientation provide the opportunity for students to learn in a uniquely active, participatory way. Outside of class, CTLS organizes professional networking and social events with a similar goal. At the core of the Center’s organizational structure are its Founding Partner schools, which contribute students and teaching faculty while also providing governance and financial support. A number of additional Partner schools send students as well, and their faculty members periodically teach at the Center. All Partner schools are encouraged to engage academically via the annual CTLS academic conference, occasional lectures, and other activities. Individual students, meanwhile, are invited to apply to CTLS on an independent basis. CTLS provides a base from which faculty, students, and alumni can examine and contribute to an understanding of the development of transnational legal norms, institutions, and processes. In time, the Center aspires to become a global legal crossroads, engaging not only students and scholars but also law firms, businesses, non-governmental organizations, and governments. fouNdiNg PaRTNERs PaRTNERs* Georgetown (US) ESADE (Spain) Free University of Berlin (Germany) University of Fribourg (Switzerland) Hebrew University (Israel) King’s College London (UK) University of Melbourne (Australia) National U.

As the world further globalises, it will become increasingly important for law students to have an understanding of other legal systems and transnational legal issues. The CTLS has given me a more comprehensive education, one relevant to the twentyfirst century. I would highly recommend the CTLS to any law student eager not only to explore fascinating legal issues but also to further a career in international or transnational law and to forge exceptional friendships.” 6 Academic Excellence The Center for Transnational Legal Studies offers students from around the world a unique global education in the law. Housed in the heart of legal London, CTLS brings together students and faculty from five continents to study international, transnational, and comparative law. The result is a new kind of learning space, preparing a new generation of global leaders for the legal profession. aCadEmiC ExCEllENCE S tudents attend CTLS for one or, in limited cases, two terms to take courses in international, transnational, and comparative law. Most students enroll after being nominated by one of the Center’s Partner schools; others are admitted after applying on an independent basis. (See Pages 11-13, below, for information on admissions.) While the subjects offered at the Center vary from term to term, they are anticipated to include international regulation of business enterprises, trade law, international arbitration and dispute resolution, European Union law, intellectual property law, international health law, comparative constitutional law, human rights law, comparative professional responsibility, international criminal law, and immigration and refugee law. All students at CTLS participate in a “Global Practice Exercise” role-playing simulation; a scholarly colloquium; and a core course on transnational perspectives on legal theory and practice. (See listings of recent courses on Page 9, and recent faculty on Pages 15-16.) The Center is not a degree-granting institution. Rather, students are awarded a “Certificate in Transnational Legal Studies” that bears the names of the Center’s Founding Partners. (See Page 5, above.) The credits that students receive from CTLS are documented on transcripts issued by Georgetown University Law Center, in accordance with regulations promulgated by the American Bar Association. These credits may, with the consent of a student’s home school, be counted towards the degree program in which that student is enrolled at that home school. In this way, depending on circumstances, academic work at CTLS may be integrated into a partner school’s LLB, JD, LLM, or other program. 8 CENTER foR TRaNsNaTioNal lEgal sTudiEs 2010-2011 CuRRiCulum 2011-2012 CuRRiCulum Required Courses: Required Courses: Global Practice Exercise Global Practice Exercise Transnational Law Colloquium Transnational Law Colloquium Core Course: Legal Transnationalism in Theory and Practice Core Course: Globalization and Transnational Law Elective Courses: Elective Courses: Comparative Civil Procedure and Dispute Resolution Advanced Property Law Comparative and Transnational Constitutional Law Comparative Human Rights Comparative Professional Responsibility Competition Law Brands and Commercial Reputation Comparative and Transnational Constitutional Law Comparative Law: A European Perspective Comparative Legal Interpretation Diplomatic and Consular Law and Practice Conflict of Laws and Transnational Procedural Law from a Comparative Perspective European Private International Law in a Globalized World EU Law International Capital Markets Law and Regulation International Commercial Arbitration International Company Law International Criminal Law International Refugee Law Multilayered Protection of Human Rights in Europe Intellectual Property Law: A General Introduction International Arbitration Law International Contracts and Business Transactions International Courts and Tribunals International Criminal Law International Economic Law: Norms and Institutions Post-Conflict State Building under International Law Nationalism, Cosmopolitanism, Identity Transnational Business Law Secured Transactions in Transnational Perspective Transnational Corporate Governance Transnational Labour Law The Rise of the Modern Regulatory State Transnational and Multicultural Citizenship Naomi Igra, Student Georgetown Law “Faculty and students bring the best of themselves to the classroom: intellectual initiative, curiosity, enthusiasm, and innovative thinking. They arrive from top law schools around the world, with high expectations, open minds, and mutual respect. They enrich each other‘s education with their unique contributions and perspectives. Through the exchange of ideas across legal traditions, they create a classroom dynamic unlike any they’ve experienced before.” 10 Admissions and Finances Admission to CTLS is competitive, regardless of whether a candidate is nominated by a Partner school, or applies on an independent basis. In all cases, the Center should be viewed as an “honors” program for particularly focused and capable individuals. admissioNs aNd fiNaNCEs T he Center’s academic goals require limitations on enrollment, and no more than 100 students are anticipated per term. As a general matter, students seeking to enroll at CTLS should already be embarked on an academic trajectory that, if they were to apply later to a leading global LLM program, would make them strong candidates for admission. It is critical that all candidates be highly proficient in English before they arrive to begin studies at the Center. All students should, by the time of their enrollment at CTLS, have completed foundational legal studies and thus be prepared for and capable of advanced legal studies. Each Partner school applies its own criteria when evaluating candidates. In general, students attend during the final years of their studies towards a first law degree, or in the course of LLM or other graduate studies. (U.S. students enroll during the second or third year of a three-year graduate JD program.) Prospective students from CTLS Partner schools may obtain information about nomination procedures and financial requirements from administrators at their home schools. Prospective independent students may obtain application information by writing to [email protected]. Independent students who enroll at CTLS pay, in addition to any fees that may be charged by their home school, CTLS tuition fees set at US$10,000 for the 2011-2012 academic year.1 These fees do not include transportation, housing, insurance or other living expenses associated with the program. For 2011-2012, such student expenses are estimated to total US$14,585.20. CTLS staff is, in some cases, able to provide guidance with respect to housing, insurance and similar issues. It remains, however, the responsibility of individual students to make such arrangements on their own.2 1 Students whose home school tuition is greater than $10,000 will be charged the higher amount, less any routine fees collected by the home school. 2 All students are required to purchase CTLS-specified Education Abroad health insurance unless their home schools enter into a separate indemnification agreement. Independent students are also required to document adequate health insurance coverage in their home country or elsewhere.

For further information, please write to [email protected] Shangun Tang, Student National University of Singapore, “CTLS is a fantastic opportunity for building friendships and networks across cultural, linguistic, and transnational boundaries. Whilst other exchange programs usually involve students immersing themselves in a foreign university, CTLS is unique in that it brings together students and professors from over 20 schools on five continents. CTLS is a synergistic combination of legal perspectives from many brilliant minds. We could very well be contemporaries in a particular field of law in the near future, and building bonds of friendship now makes the prospect of future collaboration or interaction even more interesting.” 14 ThE CENTER foR TRaNsNaTioNal lEgal sTudiEs Faculty 2010-2011 Chiara Besso Satvinder Juss university of Torino King’s College london Qingxiu Bu Heike Krieger Queen’s university belfast free university of berlin Iris Canor Brian Langille College of management academic studies university of Toronto law school Victor V.
