Programmes
The Law School (LS-HSG) offers three programmes: a classical programme in law (leading to a Bachelor’s degree [BLaw] / a Master’s degree [MLaw] / a Doctorate in Law [Doctor iuris]); a programme which combines the study of law and of economics (leading to a Bachelor’s degree [BLE] / a Master’s degree [MLE] in Law and Economics); and a programme "Master of International Law (MIL)" in English language. Each programme is coordinated by a professor of the Law School who acts as the programme director. The programme directors are supported by two administrative directors.
Teaching and research
Our team of permanently employed professors is fully dedicated to our students and their successful studies at the Law School. Numerous lecturers and visiting professors add to their efforts.
Structure of the Law School
The "Assembly" (Abteilungsversammlung) is the decision-making body of the Law School. It is composed of the full professors, associate professors, senior lecturers, assistant professors as well as representatives of the junior faculty and the students. It elects a Dean and Vice Dean who serve for a period of two years. Since February 1, 2021, Professor Bardo Fassbender is Dean of the Law School, and Professor Peter Hettich is Vice Dean.
