Bucerius Law School
Bucerius Law School (pronounced [buˈtseʁius]) is a private law school located in Hamburg, Germany. The school was the first private school to teach law in Germany.
Bucerius Law School was founded in 2000 by a non-profit foundation, Zeit-Stiftung Bucerius, and is modelled after law schools in the United States. It was named after Gerd Bucerius, a German judge, attorney, journalist, politician and founding publisher of the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit. The school is organized as a non-profit.
There are specific institutes for corporate and capital market law, the law of foundations and non-profit organizations, dispute resolution, IP and media law, and sustainability.
The school offers two different degree programs of study: The general law program, leading to a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) and to the German First Judicial Examination (Staatsexamen), and the Master of Law and Business (M.L.B.) program. Moreover, it grants doctoral (Dr. iur.) and habilitation titles, and offers four summer certificate programs.
The three-and-a-half-year LL.B. program is divided into ten trimesters. After its completion, students focus on preparation for the German First Judicial Examination (the regular law degree) in order to be admitted to legal traineeship. The entire program lasts 4.5 to 5 years and includes a mandatory trimester or semester abroad.[citation needed]
Applicants for the LL.B. must take a written exam with an essay and multiple choice components. These tests are created and assessed by an outside evaluator. Based on their scores, selected applicants are invited back for an oral component, including two personal interviews, a prepared presentation, and group discussions. All applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English.
Besides legal education, the school places importance on the required Studium generale as well as an emphasis on foreign languages and economics. Students must complete internships at law firms, businesses or organizations, many of which support the school as donors. Students are also required to spend at least one term abroad and study law in a language other than German. The school has formed international partnerships with more than 100 law schools in 37 countries, including institutions such as Stanford University, Indiana University Maurer School of Law, Columbia University, University of Texas School of Law, the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of York, Cornell University Law School, Georgetown University Law Center, New York University School of Law, Sciences Po, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, The University of Queensland, The University of New South Wales, The University of Sydney, Osgoode Hall, Universität St. Gallen, Singapore Management University, National University of Singapore, ESADE, Victoria University of Wellington and others.
As a private school, Bucerius collects tuition fees for each trimester.
