LL.M. AWArDS

Paris is at the heart of the world of international arbitration, both in terms of international commercial arbitration and investment arbitration. In 2023-2024, LLM AWArDS’ candidates come from China, Brazil, Georgia, Germany, Greece, the Philippines, and Turkey, as well as from three US partner law schools (Duke Univ., Georges Washington Univ., University of Virginia).

In keeping with its tradition of excellence in international arbitration, as evidenced by the training offered for decades to French-speaking students, Paris-Panthéon-Assas University now offers a world-class advanced University degree (DU) in the field, taught entirely in English. This training is provided by the best specialists in international arbitration, whether academics or practitioners (lawyers, counsels, arbitrators, quantum experts, managers of third-party funders, artificial intelligence researchers, etc.), based in Paris or in other important arbitration venues (London, Dubai, Singapore, etc.). Delivered in the heart of Paris, the LL.M. AWArDS bears its name well (Assas World Arbitration and Disputes Settlement).

Historically rich, Paris-Panthéon-Assas University is heir to the former Faculté de Droit et de Sciences Economiques de Paris, once comprising the Sorbonne and located in the heart of the Latin Quarter since the 13th century.

Considered as France’s first Law university and very well-known among many foreign countries, Paris-Panthéon-Assas University is dedicated to upholding the tradition from which it arose, preserving, yet ever-striving to raise its level of excellence with respect to all fields of Law.
