"training expectations

Applicants for the DROIT degree are expected to :

• Skills mobilize written and oral expression skills, demonstrating writing and oratory skills

This expectation underscores the importance of candidates' command of the French language, both written and oral. Law is a discipline in which oratory skills (pleading) and writing skills (drafting letters, legal documents, etc.) are fundamental. The precision required for legal reasoning implies that the candidate has mastered, ab initio, the fundamentals of the language.

• Ability to understand, analyze and synthesize texts

This expectation underlines the importance, in the legal field, of the candidate's ability to "understand" the written word. Law degree training requires the combined analysis of numerous legal sources (constitutions, laws, regulations, international texts, jurisprudence, doctrine) that must be understood, put into perspective and, if necessary, criticized on the basis of legal reasoning.

• Logical and conceptual reasoning skills

This requirement underlines the importance, in the legal field, of the candidate's ability to produce a structured argument, even a relatively simple one, and to reason about concepts. Law degree training requires a certain capacity for abstraction, formal logic and deduction.

• Be able to work independently and organize your work

This expectation underlines the importance of the candidate's ability to work independently in the legal field. Law degree courses leave a substantial amount of room for organization and personal work. The framework is flexible: only a limited proportion of the course is compulsory, and this is reflected in the compulsory submission of assignments (tutorials).

• Be open to the world and have language skills

This expectation underlines the importance of students having a sufficient level of competence in at least one modern foreign language, particularly English.

A Bachelor's degree in law is necessarily part of a European and global legal context, which means that during the course of the curriculum you will study legal systems other than your own, often in a foreign language.

• An interest in historical, societal and political issues

This expectation underlines the importance, for the legal profession, of candidates having a minimum level of curiosity about society and the world around them. Law cannot be studied in isolation from the human, social and political realities to which it applies.

• Completion of a "Discovery of Law" module. Completion of this module is a condition for admissibility of the application.

This module is an informative and educational tool for high school students, giving them an initial idea of whether their profile is suitable for a law degree. Although the module is compulsory, the results are known only to the student.
