The School of Law

For the achievement of its strategic goals, LUM School of Management founded the School of Law, a department for Advanced Legal Education, designed for professionals willing to enhance and improve a higher education in the different fields of law, considering their increasingly growing interaction with other crucial parts of society. It is a “thinking hub”, for research and dialogue, open to the challenges of these times and willing to give useful, specific and effective answers to:

– questions and issues from the labor market, currently facing quick and increasingly unpredictable changes;

– the new needs of public and private subjects, acting at different levels of social, legal and political participation (local, regional, national, European, international).

The School of Law is aware that we live in learning societies, marked by the need of a valuable and permanent learning, and therefore it wants to reduce the walls between disciplines of study, without undermining the value of a specialistic education. That is why the School of Law is not a closed thinking hub, self-referential and limited to the repetition of known educational models. It fosters, instead, the collaboration with the most important local and national institution, both public and private, with credibility and reliability: this commitment is made easier by the notorious good reputation of all teachers at LUM’s Faculty of Law.

This explains the reinforcement of many worthwhile relations with legal authorities, enterprises, independent national agencies and administrative authorities, supervisory authorities, professional associations, national and international institutes of research, Third Sector organizations, associations.

The School of Law has therefore a system of interacting elements: it is linked to other external systems through a well-balanced network that includes and enhances its best parts according to the topic.

In particular, the School of Law promotes 1st and 2nd level University Masters, Executive Masters and Advanced Training and Specialization Courses, along with important activities (workshops, seminars, conferences, summer schools) of high scientific value, which also represent important occasion of meeting and having a dialogue with the main enterprises and territorial institutions, both public and private.

Considering this framework, University Masters and Courses from the School of Law have two main goals:

1. Enhancing the participants’ individual skills, by providing knowledge and competence, in order to encourage self-assessment, conscious construction and an appropriate path for professional growth.

2. Building integrated training courses, where education is tightly linked to the innovation of activities, processes and/or organizations.

Besides legal knowledge, importance shall be also given to economic science, organizational science, and social science.

The School is then a reliable partner, capable of offering skills and resources to collaborate with institutions and the production sector, living every day the difficult path for cultural, economic and social growth of Southern Italy and the Mediterranean area.

Considering this vision, the School of Law’s mission is thought in order to:

– analyze and study innovating topics, anticipating change trends and the needs of various sectors of law-making and of economic and social importance;

– develop peculiar educational contents; distinguishing, serious, tangible and excellent, that is not distant from the questions arising from the job world and the needs produced by the local and national institutional framework;

– supporting public and private enterprises in understanding society and managing its changes;

– reinforce collaborations with the most important and credible public and private players, both local and national, constantly engaged in the fields with a more significant legal, cultural, economic, and social impact;

– integrate with LUM’s mission, its daily activities, starting from those about the Faculty of Law, therefore contributing to their good exposure.
