DLJ Legal Language Days

DLJ's Legal Language Days are part of the European Day of Languages organized by the Council of Europe. They provide an opportunity for linguistic immersion in the various languages that students can hear and practice during these days, as well as in the law of several countries. In this way, they become aware of the importance of mastering languages in general, and legal languages in particular, as a key tool for professional integration, and above all as a vector of diverse European legal and linguistic cultures.
