The quality of this training has already been proven several times by the Faculty of Law at the Philip C. Jessup Moot Court International Law Competition. Students at the faculty have consistently placed first or second in the national preliminary rounds, qualifying them to compete in the international finals in Washington, D.C. Teams of students from around the world compete in the annual competition in the United States. The task of the moot court is to negotiate a hypothetical international case in the best possible way. Despite the fierce competition, the law school team also managed to reach the top positions in Washington D.C. Language and law are closely linked. In addition, German law is increasingly influenced by European and international law. Learning foreign languages and maintaining international contacts are therefore more than ever among the basic prerequisites for a successful career as a lawyer. We have long offered our students the opportunity to acquire these key qualifications during their law studies. Our law and language program is very successful and well received. The Faculty of Law was also able to establish itself in the largest and most prestigious competition in the field of international sales law and commercial arbitration, the Willem C.

Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. In recent years, our students have managed to win against teams such as Harvard Law School, the National University of Singapore or the London School of Economics. The competition, which has been held since 1994, attracts more than 300 law schools from all over the world to Vienna every year. The stated objective of the Vis Moots is to promote the study of international commercial arbitration and international trade law and to promote the settlement of commercial disputes through arbitration. In addition, our international exchange programs offer the opportunity to learn foreign languages and foreign legal systems « on site ». We consider it particularly important to combine the acquisition and consolidation of foreign language skills with an introduction to the legal and academic cultures of other countries. Under existing exchange programs, students can get to know the law of the host country for up to two semesters. The time spent on these stays abroad is not taken into account in the free attempt of the first state examination, so that studying abroad is not only an academic and cultural enrichment, but also does not affect regular studies. Carl-Zeiss-Str. Faculty of Law 3 07743 Jena Germany offers an LL.M. in European Competition and Intellectual Property Law.
