issues. The programme includes
Seminars
Conferences
Law schools
Study visits
International Seminars and Conferences are events that deal with a
legal topic of high international interest and provide additional
skills and knowledge to its participants. While on a seminar, topics
are discussed in a plenary. Conferences entail more individual
participation and scientific contribution, therefore topics are
discussed in workshops to be finally reported in plenary.
An international seminar or conference provides accommodation for the
participants and lasts at least 3 days. More than 50 international
seminars and conferences are held annually.
An ELSA Law School is an event that aims to be annual and has a
scientific programme with a legal topic. An ELSA Law School is
organised in close co-operation with the academic or institutional
partner(s), i.e. with the law faculty, law institutes etc. The
scientific programme includes lectures followed by workshops, which
deepen and emphasise different areas of the lecture.
Study visits are organised by at least one local group. Study visits
may be single, bilateral, multilateral, or institutional. Institutional
study visits are study visits to international governmental or
non-governmental organisations, public administrations or private
institutions.
