Université Jean Moulin, Lyon, France

French-Language Program

Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3 boasts one the best law faculties in Europe and is generally recognized as having one of the most extensive course offerings in international and comparative law. Students are enmeshed in the academic and cultural perspective of Europeans who have a direct stake in the development of the European Economic Community -- a perspective that is difficult to obtain in the United States.

France’s second largest city, Lyon is a commercial and cultural crossroads, close to the borders of Italy, Switzerland and Germany and only two hours from Paris by train. It has all the cultural offerings of a world-class city, without the inconveniences of a major metropolis. To earn twelve credits, students take

1. A two-week introductory course, "Introduction to French Private Law and Introduction to French Public Law;"
2. A six-week course, "Introduction to the French Law of Contract and Law of Tort;"
3. Four regular classes (at the Licence or Maîtrise level) in comparative and/or international law topics, such as European Community law, international trade law, international contract law, and European competition law.

BU Law students must be fluent in French to participate. Up to four students may be selected. Spring Semester 2Ls only
