Kathleen Claussen, a graduate of Yale Law School, used her visit to the city’s aqueduct to give a talk on the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the International Court of Justice, both based in the Peace Palace The Hague, a legendary place in the history of international law, built in 1913 with donations from all countries.

  • Kathleen Claussen, letrada de la Corte Permanente de Arbitraje de la Haya, imparte una ponencia a los alumnos de Derecho del Campus de Santa Cruz la Real de Segovia 

La abogada Kathleen Claussen, letrada de la Corte Permanente de Arbitraje de la Haya, visitó el campus de IE University con el fin de conocer los proyectos académicos de IE University y de forma concreta las características diferenciadoras de IE Law School y de su innovador grado en Derecho, que se imparte desde este curso en Segovia.

Kathleen Claussen, graduada de Yale Law School y letrada de la Corte Permanente de Arbitraje de la Haya, aprovechó su visita a la ciudad del Acueducto para impartir una charla sobre la Corte Permanente de Arbitraje y la Corte Internacional de Justicia, ambas con sede en el Palacio de la Paz de La Haya, lugar legendario en la historia del Derecho Internacional, edificado en 1913 con donaciones de todos los países. 

En IE University, Claussen subrayó que la Corte Permanente de Arbitraje, fundada en 1899, es la institución arbitral más antigua del mundo. Añadió que la Corte Internacional de Justicia, fundada en 1946, es el principal tribunal internacional que funciona bajo los auspicios de la ONU. Entre los procedimientos que administran ambos organismos, muchos de ellos estrictamente confidenciales,  se cuentan contenciosos sobre fronteras nacionales, reclamaciones de guerra o millonarias disputas económicas entre Estados, explicó la letrada. 

 

Tras la ponencia, Kathleen Claussen tuvo ocasión de orientar a los alumnos de Derecho de IE University sobre cómo enfocar sus carreras profesionales en el ámbito del Derecho Internacional. En el acto participaron Marco de Benito, Pedro Letai y Charlotte Leskinen, profesores de Derecho de IE University. 

Como se recordará, IE University inició el curso académico 2011/2012 con la novedad de la puesta en marcha de los estudios de Derecho en el campus de Segovia. Para el próximo curso, IE University ampliará en Madrid su oferta universitaria en gestión empresarial y leyes con el doble Grado en ADE y Derecho. En esta titulación doble, los futuros abogados aprenden a dirigir negocios, mientras que los futuros empresarios adquieren los conocimientos legales necesarios para el éxito de sus proyectos.  

El Grado de Derecho de IE University, con orientación a la práctica internacional de la abogacía, forma profesionales que puedan trabajar con clientes corporativos, con organizaciones y con gobiernos, desarrollando y poniendo en práctica soluciones eficaces en un entorno global. Es un programa de grado innovador que combina la enseñanza de los sistemas de Derecho Civil y de Common law .

  • The course is very different to the traditional format, with four different specializations to equip the student to be a corporate lawyer, transnational lawyer, environmental lawyer or expert in EU law.
  • Students can also study a dual Bachelor of Laws and Business Administration Degree
  • Clifford Chance, PwC and Latham & Watkins will offer scholarships covering 75% of enrolment fees 

IE University has presented its new Bachelor of Laws, an innovative degree course whereby students can choose one of four different specializations to become a corporate lawyer, environmental lawyer, transnational lawyer or expert in EU law. The official presentation of the Bachelor program took place during a round table on Training Lawyers of the Future, where participants included Antonio Hernández Gil, Dean of the Madrid Bar Association, Antonio Morales, Partner of Latham & Watkins, Madrid, Ignacio Ojanguren, managing partner of Clifford Chance Madrid, and Santiago Barrenechea, managing partner of PwC Tax & Legal Services. The round table was moderated by José María de Areilza, Dean of IE Law School, and Soledad Atienza, Director of IE University’s Bachelor of Laws. 

The new Bachelor of Laws will have both English and Spanish versions, and will be launched in September of this year at IE’s Madrid and Segovia campuses. The  program is very different to the traditional format offered by most universities in that  students can choose from 4 specializations, namely that of corporate lawyer, which equips students to work in companies or law firms with an international corporate focus, transnational lawyer, for those students who want to practice as lawyers in Spain and in the UK, environmental lawyer, to provide counsel in the field of the environment, and expert in EU law, for students who seek to specialize in this field. Moreover, students can study a dual degree in law and business administration, gleaning the benefits of the extensive experience of IE Law School and IE Business School in both fields. 

The Bachelor of Laws enjoys the support of companies that include Clifford Chance, PwC, and Latham & Watkins, who will be funding some of the future lawyers at IE University with the Latham & Watkins Scholarship for Entrepreurial Lawyering, the Clifford Chance scholarship for Diversity, and the PwC scholarship for Global Lawyering, each of which cover 75% of enrolment fees. 

Soledad Atienza, Director of IE University’s Bachelor of Laws explained how the course is designed to respond to the fast-changing needs of the law sector.  “The key differentiating factor of the program is its active methodology and its lawyering content. Students are brought into close contact with professional realities through practical case studies, workshops and role play, while the international slant of the degree program equips them to practice law in both the UK and Spain, all this coupled with internships in renowned Spanish and international law firms. We want our students to think and work like lawyers from day one.”   

The Bachelor of Laws also benefits from agreements between IE Law School and institutions that include Hong Kong University, King’s College , Northwestern, William & Mary, Georgetown, NUS Singapore, Getulio Vargas (Sao Paolo), Bucerius (Hamburg), Tilburg (Holland) or Sciences Po (Paris).
