Faculty of Law

The structure of the activities has been adapted to the most recent education modernization demands, with the specific characteristics of the field of law; the educational plans, analytic programmes and training methods have been perfected. The research activity benefits from an adequate organizational structure: research centres operate within the faculty (the Centre for Constitutional Law and Political Institutions, the Centre for Studies in Competition Law, the Centre for Human Rights, the Centre for Comparative Social Law, the Centre for European Law, the Centre for Jurisprudence and New Rights, the Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property Law) and they host multiple academic activities: international sessions and conferences, debates, round tables, practical seminars, case studies, mock trials, methodological seminars, international schools, holiday schools, pleading and essay competitions, magazine launch events etc. For several generations, the professors at the Faculty of Law have been involved in creating the most important legislation in Romania: the Romanian Constitution and the civil and criminal procedure codes. They have always been involved in the turmoil of politics, often at the highest positions of the state hierarchy: presidents of the chambers of Parliament, prime ministers, ministers and secretaries of state. At the same time, the teachers of this Faculty have authored the most important scientific works in the field of law published in Romania and they have often been recognized internationally by renowned experts. The Faculty is engaged in collaboration with similar institutions in Romania and in other countries, successfully participating in the national effort for integration in the global academic world. Thus, the French-Romanian Law College and the FrenchRomanian Institute for Business Law and International Cooperation were established within the Faculty of Law in 1994, as a result of successful collaboration with various universities: Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Bordeaux IV, Montpellier I, Nancy II, Orléans, Paris II, Paris XI, Poitiers, Reims, Strasbourg III. Also, the School of Law is part of prestigious international networks, such as the Rotterdam Law Netw
