Academic Course
British Law Centre – Diploma in English Law & Legal Skills (2022-23)
The Diploma in English Law & Legal Skills is taught by the British Law Centre (BLC) at a range of locations throughout Central and Eastern Europe, including in Bucharest (co-organised and hosted by Bucharest University, Faculty of Law).
The British Law Centre is an educational project which began in 1992 as a joint venture between the University of Cambridge and the University of Warsaw. It is now coordinated by a dedicated educational charity, Juris Angliae Scientia (JAS), whose trustees include senior academic members of Cambridge University’s Faculty of Law. The Chair of JAS’s members is Lord Carnwath of the Supreme Court.
The first meeting of the Diploma in Bucharest happens on Saturday 29th October 2022. Later meetings happen monthly until June 2023. To see the dates of the Bucharest centre classes, see here. Classes happen once a month until June 2022.
The Diploma teaches core aspects of English substantive law (inc. contract, tort and trusts) and a range of legal skills (inc. case management, legal writing, contract drafting, oral advocacy etc.)
It is taught by a mixture of online lectures and written materials, plus small-group classes and skills workshops which happen monthly in Bucharest (at weekends, to enable workers to participate more easily).
The course involves:
- Over 100 hours of lectures (online)
- 8 x 4hrs of small-group live classes (i.e. 32 hours)
- Voluntary additional workshops, skills-development sessions etc.
All lectures, classes and materials are prepared/delivered by experienced, native-speaking lawyers, including academic staff from the University of Cambridge and other leading UK Universities, and senior members of the UK legal professions and judiciary.
