Bachelor of Laws in Common and Civil Law

University of Limerick

The study of law is an enriching educational experience that provides intellectual stimulation and exposure to decision-making and argumentative skills. The LLB in Common and Civil Law programme provides an opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree in both Common Law (The Irish/UK legal system) and Civil Law (the system used in most mainland European jurisdictions). Graduates can therefore expect to have a wide variety of options open to them upon graduation.The LLB in Common and Civil Law programme places significant emphasis on the development of practical legal skills including oral and written communication skills, analytical and logical reasoning skills, negotiation, legal research, organisational and teamwork skills. The University of Limerick moot court and appellate court facilities are utilised throughout the programme to develop these skills and ensure our students graduate equipped to deal with working in the legal environments in Ireland and France.
