PROGRAM
A global society demands a global legal education. Anglo- American Law thus plays a vital role not only in the United States but also in many other countries. 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 the common law. The University of Navarra School of Law offers 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 Anglo American Law Program (AALP) will take place during the regular academic year of the University of Navarra School of Law. (September–May) The AALP is compatible with the International Business Law Program (IBLP) and the Global Law Studies. Students in this program will be also elegible to spend a semester abroad at well known universities in the USA. This Program will be taught completely in English. Therefore, students will need to justify their language knowledge by passing an exam. It is recommended that students interested in this program have an English level equivalent to the Cambridge Advanced test or a score of 92 in the TOEFL exam.
