Celebrating LL.M. Paris 2024: Xmas Tea Party & the Exciting Launch of Panthéon Assas LL.M. Students association (PALS)
On Thursday, December 5th, students from the four LL.M. programmes offered in Paris by Paris-Panthéon-Assas university gathered to celebrate the end of the first semester at the traditional Xmas tea party. This festive event also marked the inauguration of the newly formed Panthéon Assas LL.M. Students (PALS) association, a significant milestone for the LL.M. community.
PALS, a vibrant new initiative, is led by a group of LL.M. students representing the LL.M. AWArDS, LL.M. European Law, LL.M. International Business Law, and LL.M. Public Law and Democracy programmes. The new association includes Noemi Simon as President, Maria Fissore as Vice-President, Patryck Dobrowolski as Secretary, Reka Sztaray as Treasurer, Marie Krumeich as Vice-Treasurer, Willem Lahaye as Communications and Social Media Manager, Carlos Pareja as Social Events Manager, Elia Tokmak as Corporate Relations Manager, and Jane Jezhi as Alumni Manager.
The association’s primary goal is to foster a dynamic community among LL.M. students in Paris, providing ample opportunities for networking, academic collaboration, and professional development. Additionally, PALS aims to bridge the gap between current students and alumni, facilitating the sharing of invaluable experience and advice.
The event saw an enthusiastic response from alumni, who joined the celebration to reconnect with their alma mater and share their professional journeys. We were happy to reconnect with Stavros Tsiovolos (AWArDS 2024), Berin Szóka (European Law 2024), Jonathan Leibu (International Business Law 2024), Laura-Béatrice Zanella (International Business Law 2024), Kirill Petrovich (International Business Law 2024), Yash Seth (International Business Law 2023), Larissa Araujo (International Business Law 2023), Marco Portillo Diaz (AWArDS 2023), Georgios Rallis (AWArDS 2022), and Maria Camila Lizarazo Gonzalez (International Business Law 2022). Alumni shared cherished memories of their time at Paris-Panthéon-Assas and offered insights on their professional paths post-LL.M. The event concluded on a high note, with promises of more events, meetings and networking opportunities in the coming months.
