Teaching method

It is rather difficult to teach a special juridical discipline to non-jurists.In order to catch the student’s attention we have decided to adopt the method to transcribe lessons, revised by the instructor and distributed afterwards.The suite and permanent evaluation system, by mean of directed works assure a very good rate of school success.

Evaluation method

Final Exam.
