The European Law School (Network) opened its doors at the end of the 2007/2008 academic year. For the first time, three universities have come together to create a comprehensive European legal education. The initial project will be to create a program of study, with both national and international components. This joint venture is not simply to create another Master’s program but an understanding of Europe that emphasizes and promotes both unity and diversity. We develop this theme in sections 4 and 5 of this paper. At the same time the program endeavours to provide the essential features of a modern legal education (as set out in section 5), albeit, at the present time, for only a limited number of students.
