The University of Navarra Law School,
in collaboration with the Gertrude Ryan Foundation, offer the Anglo-American
Law Program (AALP) as a necessary complement to the traditional
law degree. This is a new style to study law in Spain: European
law and Anglo-American law together in the same degree.
The AALP is compatible with the International Business Law
Program (IBLP) and the Global Law Studies.
Anglo-American Law plays a
vital role not only in the United States but in all countries
throughout the World. International legal institutions and law
firms need lawyers who have working knowledge of both the civil
and common law systems. Therefore, it is essential for European
law students to be familiar with common law.
The AALP takes place during
the regular academic year at the University of Navarra Law
School and covers the major topics of the common law system.
The AALP will be taught by professors from U.S. Law
Schools.
The AALP will be taught completely in English. Therefore students will need to justify their language knowledge by passing an oral exam or presenting a degree certificate, either:
- First Certificate in English
- EOI (3rd grade)
- TOEFL (92 points)
