Law in Practice course units

General

Law in Practice is a collective name for all activities, either inside or outside the Faculty, which allow you in some way to put law or legal science in practice, get in touch with the labour market, and practise important skills according to the labour market. This could e.g.,. be done by taking up an internship, participation in a Law Clinic, participation in Moot Courts, etc. More information can be found on the Careers Services Law website and in Ocasys (bachelor and master).

In-house Law in Practice components

In addition to internships and moot courts, the Faculty also offers in-house variants of the Law in Practice component. The in-house variants are geared towards specific LLM programmes, but can also be used in other LLM programmes at times. Please contact the Law in Practice contact person of your programme in case you wish to use a different Law in Practice component than indicated for your programme.

Enrolment

Please check here for information about the enrolment procedure.

Please note: enrolling for an in-house Law in Practice variant is binding. By definition, enrolment leads to a result, either a final mark in case of participation, or a fail in case of absence. So it is advised to choose carefully.

The Board of Examiners may, at the student’s request, decide differently than indicated above on the basis of special circumstances.
