Goal & Purposes

After more than 50 years in the practice of law, our experience has demonstrated that the new law graduates lack the grounding required in the Advocacy. ISDE noticed that there was not a big difference between the new law graduates and those who have complementary studies, since all of them lack practical education to face the clients and their problems. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the students who have an internship in a Law Firm after finishing their studies, quickly acquire the minimum necessary knowledge to face the legal practice.

For these reasons, we asked ourselves why most of the educational systems were failing when the professors, organization and methods were excellent. Our conclusion was clear: the formation acquired in a Law Firm guarantees a more correct professional preparation.

Consequently, it was necessary to reproduce this natural work system of the main Law Firms, improve it and finally to complement it with an internship period.

The Master in International Law LL.M. was born with a clear objective: to transmit a mechanism of legal reasoning and consequently, a preparation in legal practice in all the subjects, with the aim to gradually aspire to the specialization. The student will also be instructed in international relations and foreign trade, necessary nowadays with the actual worldwide economic system.

ISDE has created a practical and effective system, after several years working, based on learning through real cases and using the same methodology as a real lawyer. That is the reason why the education is provided both in the academic headquarters and in the Law Firms.

Thus what it is learned is the application of the law, the detection of legal problems, the legal reasoning and the appropriate draft claims. Nevertheless this is only the first phase of the Master, since in the second one the students have an internship in different prestigious Law Firms and national or international legal consultancies.

ISDE believes that the legal practice is not based on fictitious problems, but on real cases. This is why we have the best professionals: lawyers, lecturers, and economists, who make up a perfect team and understand each other perfectly.
