The Law School of Catholic University of Portugal (Católica) in Lisbon is proud to announce the launching of its innovative project: the Católica Global School of Law.

With Católica's world class graduate programs and its solid institutional support as our base, we decided to take a step forward and to create a truly global law school, different from any other. Creating a global law school involves a serious effort to bring together:

    * Global faculty;
    * Global students;
    * Global environment and staff.

Lisbon is the perfect place to establish this venture. As part of the Católica, it benefits from the Law School's longstanding reputation and international experience. Moreover, the Lisbon location provides the additional historical benefits of being in the place where the first step toward globalization was taken centuries ago, with the beginning of the European exploration of the new world. At the same time, Lisbon has a vibrant modern ambiance, affordable living costs, and sits poised as the geographical and strategic bridge between Europe and the United States.

The Católica Global School of Law faculty consists of a world class selection of law professors from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, as well as professors from the most prestigious American and European colleges. Leading lawyers are also featured in our programmes. Joseph Weiler, Jan Dalhuisen, Miguel Poiares Maduro, Raymond Nimmer, Rosa Greaves, James Boyle, Paul Davies, Andrea Biondi, Eric Posner and Armin von Bogdandy are among the faculty of the programmes.
