Ireland’s membership of the European Union, combined with globalisation, makes it more important than ever that lawyers are able to understand other legal systems and cultures. A key global distinction is between ‘common law systems’, such as Ireland, England, and the USA, and ‘civil law systems’, found in France, most other European jurisdictions, and beyond. A Law and French combination will afford you with the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and understanding of French language and culture. This appreciation of French language, law and culture provides an invaluable gateway to a broader understanding of civil law systems around the world.
