PROGRAM: « STAGE INTERNATIONAL »
Since 1991, the Paris Bar organises a unique training program targeting young French speaking lawyers, in partnership with the Ecole de Formation professionnelle des Barreaux du ressort de la cour d’appel de Paris (EFB). The “Stage International” brings together in Paris, during two months of theoretical and practical training, young French speaking lawyers, selected by the Paris Bar from among applications received each year from all over the world. This program is organised in cooperation with the foreign bar associations and supported by some French Embassies abroad.
WHEN ?
The Stage international takes place every year in October and November (8 weeks).
WHY?
The « Stage International » is first and foremost an encounter between lawyers in an international and fraternal atmosphere; they are an opportunity to compare practices and establish lasting bonds of friendship and business.
Objectives:

– Create a network through the lawyers and firms who participated in the program;
– Promote the exchange of legal experience and knowledge as well as the practice of comparative law.
