A Law school (École de droit) or College of Law (Collège de droit) in France a selective school inside each French university for its best students which deliver a specific diploma of the university.

History

In France, universities are not allowed to choose which students are allowed to their undergraduate degree. Panthéon-Assas University created then in 2008 a special school for selecting its best students. Several universities rapidly followed this model[1][2] It permitted to French universities to select students despite the legal global prohibition.[3][4]

Media soon called these schools "ways of excellence"[5] inside each university for "brilliant students"[6] or "grandes écoles inside universities"[7]

Panthéon-Sorbonne University created a "law school" but it is an administrative name for its faculty of law and not a selective degree or selective courses for its best students.[8] Sciences Po has a degree called "Law School", it is not a selection for the best legal students, but a legal degree for non-legal students.[9][10]

Existing Law schools and colleges in France

For other uses, see Sorbonne Law School.

Panthéon-Assas University created in 2008 a special school for selecting its best students among the 2300 ones it legally has to accept in first year[11] in order to give them special courses and a special degree: the College of Law. In 2011, the Paris Law School was created when the first class of the College of Law had its degree. To be admitted, you have to obtain "Summa Cum Laude" in Baccalauréat, or "Magna Cum Laude" with an entrance test.[12]

Paris Law School (École de droit de Paris), also called Assas Law School (École de droit d'Assas), is a school from Panthéon-Assas University delivering a graduate degree, after the College of Law (Collège de droit) delivering an undergraduate degree. The Collège de droit was the first Law School created by French Universities in 2008.
