The European Private Law Summer School has been held in Salzburg every year since 2000. The school's lecturers come from almost all EU countries, as well as from Argentina, Brazil, Puerto Rico, the United States, Canada, South Africa, China, Japan, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Therefore, classes are taught exclusively by experts from the respective countries in German, French or English.
This year's summer school will take place from 1 to 13 July 2024.
The Summer School has gained international recognition due to the numerous lectures by Supreme Court Justices such as Justice Kennedy (former Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court), Lord Thomas Quiggard (former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of England and Wales), Irmgard Griss (former President of the Supreme Court of Austria), numerous judges and the former Advocate General of the European Court of Justice.
The school attaches great importance to comparative law classes. During roundtable discussions, groups of experts introduce various topical legal issues. In addition, teachers and students discuss practical solutions in various areas of law during special workshops. The schedule of this year's summer school is available here: https://www.plus.ac.at/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/STUDENTS_overview_aktuell_11.04.2024.pdf
The programme is aimed at recent graduates and law students. As seminars, roundtables and most lectures are conducted in an interactive manner, where participants can discuss various topics with the lecturers, a sufficient level of English (at least B2) is required. Knowledge of an additional language (French, German, Spanish or Italian) is an advantage.
The application deadline is 30 April 2024. The application form, curriculum and additional information about the school and the cost of participation can be found here: https://www.plus.ac.at/privatrecht/studium/summer-school-european-private-law/ Participation is possible offline and online.
