In September 2009, Richard Descoings appointed me as Dean of the Sciences Po Law School.

This school aims at educating law professionals of a very high caliber, capable of adjusting and evolving in a professional world that is constantly changing.

Our ambition: to recruit students from all horizons holding degrees of higher education. Our challenge: to teach them law, through an interactive pedagogical method that develops their critical mind and their creativity. It will give them the opportunity not only to join the Bar, but also to contribute to the business world, economic regulation agencies or the Judiciary.

Some of them will choose to follow their curriculum within a PhD program that relies on an international academic network of excellence. It promotes research in the fields of economic law, globalization, changes in public action, or theories of law and justice.

We hope that you will share our enthusiasm in fostering this original project and developing research in law that is open to the world.

Christophe Jamin, Dean of the Sciences Po Law School
