Menu for Justice - Toward a European Curriculum Studiorum on Judicial Studies

The Coordinators of the four working groups (Task Forces) met in Odense Campus to finalize the scientific reports regarding legal education in Europe, before their publication and dissemination as project outcomes. The reports, prepared with the contribution of all project's partners, provide an interesting overview of the programmes, methods and innovations adopted in university courses, post-graduate education and vocational training. Based on the country reports of the project Task Forces and the feed back from practicing legal professionals, the Menu for Justice Coordinators developed a set of recommendations for legal and judicial training, from undergraduate degree to vocational training. Such recommendations and the methodology of the work are illustrated in the document “Policy Guidelines on Legal Education in Europe”. These guidelines represent a starting point for a broad discussion about the changes and challenges the legal professions have to cope with in the current era.
