International Public Law Summer School Course London

Public International Law (PIL), also known as International Law, is a body of rules and principles that governs the legal relations between sovereign states and other international actors. It plays a vital role in fostering cooperation, resolving conflicts, and promoting stability across nations. This area of law addresses a broad range of critical issues, including state sovereignty, international treaties, human rights protection, the regulation of international trade, environmental law, and the jurisdiction of international courts. As global challenges evolve, PIL continues to adapt to address new concerns such as climate change, global health issues, and the growing influence of non-state actors.

This course, offered by Lite Regal Education, is designed specifically for LLB and LLM students who are interested in exploring the foundations and complexities of Public International Law. While no prior legal knowledge is required, a strong understanding of legal terminology and an interest in international relations or global politics will be beneficial. The program is especially valuable for undergraduates and postgraduate law students looking to deepen their understanding of international legal systems and enhance their academic and professional credentials.

Through a combination of lectures, tutorials, and interactive workshops, students will gain a comprehensive introduction to the key principles and challenges within Public International Law. Topics include state sovereignty, treaty law, the jurisdiction of international courts, and the role of international organizations. The course takes place at either our Cambridge or London campus, where students will live and study within a prestigious college setting. The experience is fully residential and includes meals, lessons, cultural activities, and educational excursions. College credit is also available for students who complete the program.

In addition to the academic component, Lite Regal Education offers an exclusive opportunity to gain practical experience through our internship program. Students can choose between a 3-week course (2 weeks of academic lessons and workshops followed by a 1-week internship) or a 4-week course (2 weeks of academic lessons and workshops followed by a 2-week internship). During the internship, students will shadow practicing lawyers in UK law firms, observe their day-to-day work, and gain firsthand insight into the legal profession. This experience is especially valuable for those planning to work in UK law firms or abroad, giving them a competitive edge in their future legal careers. It’s an ideal opportunity for aspiring lawyers to enhance their academic knowledge with real-world exposure and start building a network in the legal field.
