28 February 2018: Scholarship for obtaining an LLM at Vanderbilt University, USA (academic year 2018/2019)

02.28.2018

In the framework of their partnership, CEIPI of the University of Strasbourg and the Law School of the Vanderbilt University (Nashville, Tennessee) announce the creation of a special scholarship meant for a CEIPI student for obtaining an LLM in the USA. This scholarship of 30 000 $ comes with a position (remunerated according to the application rates) of research assistant on intellectual property(the exam period won’t be paid) under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Gervais. This scholarship is available for the academic year 2018-2019 (beginning of the courses in August 2018). A similar scholarship will be provided each year.

The LLM degree of Vanderbilt allows students to take the Bar exam, especially the New York’s one. About sixty students from Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa are accepted into the LLM program each year. The LLM program is fully integrated into the JD (Juris Doctor degree or Doctor of Law degree) program and enables students to register to the same courses. An intensive and optional legal English course is also provided in July.

The scholarship recipient will be chosen jointly by the CEIPI and Vanderbilt.
