Soirée Bruxelloise

We would like to thank all the alumni who attended the "Soirée Bruxelloise" on occasion of our visit to the EU institutions. On 13 February with mussels, French fries and Beer at Leon's we had a great time with many colleagues working at the Commission and the other institutions and also in law firms and NGOs. Looking forwards to seeing you next time again!

Andreas R. Ziegler
Academic Director LLM Programme

From 11 to 14 February the Programme organizes a unique possibility to visit Strasbourg, Luxembourg and Brussels and its European institutions for only 470 CHF (Students) and 570 CHF (Alumni) you are all welcome to join us for four days (three hotel nights) and a bus trip to visit these institutions and meet many experts and former colleagues working in this environment...a unique chance to meet people with whom you might work in the future ...If you have interested colleagues who would like to join, there is limited space available for you and them...Please register soon as space is limited - deadlines 30 November (Alumni and Friends) - 12 December (Students)...

Contact your fellow alumni!

We are very happy with the fact that 33 members have registered with Facebook to keep in touch with the programme...but of course we know that there are another 500 of you who may not know the initiative or who have postponed their registration...Please re-launch them in order for this tool to become a tool for all of you. We will soon start to organize local events and conferences that you should not miss...

New LLM Programme

As announced earlier we are in the final phase of re-launching the LLM programme thereby allowing students who would like to do so to study entirely in English (which is the main reason why I write only in English) and to take the programme part-time while working. There will also be more courses in International Economic and Business Law but we will keep a stream specializing in European Law which remains unique for Switzerland. So please if you know anybody for whom this programme could be of interest tell them about it...As a small sign of recognition you will be given a copy of the new edition INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC LAW by Qureshi/Ziegler (Sweet & Maxwell, London, 2007) for any candidate definitely enrolled thanks to you. We welcome also ideas about how the programme could be further improved as you are our best source of information and we care about your experience and advice.

Best regards
