A Word from the Dean

“Welcome to the Dubai campus of the University Paris II Panthéon-Assas. The Paris II Panthéon-Assas University, heir of the Faculty of Law of the ancient University of Paris, is the first legal university in France, and partner of the most prestigious universities on all continents. For some years now, it has had the honour of being hosted in the United Arab Emirates, where it has successfully developed courses taught in English : an LL.M. in International business law and, more recently, a unique Bachelor of Laws, LL.B., designed to offer a comparative approach to legal systems and solutions.

The University is very conscious and willing to participate fully in the efforts of the UAE authorities to provide the best training to the youth, to promote particularly that of women, and thus to contribute to the voluntarist policy of training the national elites.

The Dubai campus aims to be a regional campus and intends to take advantage of the attractiveness and dynamism of the United Arab Emirates to disseminate the best of the legal culture in the region, and to contribute to the training of tomorrow’s lawyers, for the public and private sectors, whose needs are considerable.”
