With the aim of training the best prepared lawyers, ISDE, Carlos III University and the Il-lustre Col-legi d’Advocats de Terrassa have been inspired by Law 34/2006 when designing a programme designed for students to acquire the necessary skills and competences to practice in a globalised context.
This change of model has sought to harmonise the Spanish system of access to the legal profession with that of the rest of Europe, so that law graduates must now complete their training with specific studies in law and accredit their knowledge in a state test. This new system responds to an old aspiration of the profession: that those who enter it have sufficient preparation to practice with all the guarantees.
Apart from following the spirit of the Access Law, the joint course organized by ISDE, UC3M and ICATER takes into account the requirements marked by the phenomenon of globalization, a framework in which new lawyers will practice their profession, which tends to bring together the different known legal systems by bringing their institutions closer together.
The programme also takes into account the impact of new technologies on the promotion of new business areas. Therefore, it allows students not only to specialize in traditionally known legal disciplines but also to do so on a sectorial basis in areas such as environmental law, energy, the stock market, urban planning, mergers and acquisitions, international taxation, etc.
Finally, the course encourages students to acquire all those skills that a lawyer should possess and that are practically not covered in the undergraduate studies: communication with clients, negotiation techniques, procedural strategy, argumentation and public speaking, professional office management techniques, database management, knowledge of accounting techniques or development of strategic development plans, among others.
Our objective is that the students of this program acquire an integral formation that, structured from the deontology and the professional practice, serves them to exercise the profession with all the guarantees that the society, the business world and, in short, the defense of the rights of the citizens requires.
The programme has two main objectives: on the one hand, to train the professionals of the current and future companies of the incipient sector of the sports in order to complete their training deficiencies and to provide them with the necessarily multidisciplinary character that a disruptive environment requires. On the other hand, to train students and professionals in areas such as law, journalism, advertising and marketing, among others, so that they acquire the necessary knowledge to reorient their professional careers in a sector with as much potential as the sports sector.
