International Honours Programme: Global Lawyer

This module has been designed with the goal of improving students' use of verbal and written language in court, on the basis that convincing communication does not come down to spontaneity, but it is actually the result of learning, acquiring habits and mastering specific techniques.

The aim is to provide students with knowledge and techniques to ensure correct oral and written expression, the latter based on the "Garrigues Style Book", a manual that provides the answers to the questions that most frequently arise when preparing legal reports – such as technical and grammatical aspects, extra-textual issues and the use of new technologies to help prepare them – all of which are of great interest and importance for any lawyer in their professional practice.

Meanwhile, the programme is design to allow students to put what they have learnt into practice and develop more argumentative or emotional discourse, selecting the most appropriate techniques to convince and persuade with the aim of being as effective as possible when speaking in court. Special attention is paid to breathing, relaxation, diction, articulation, rhythm, pauses and overcoming stage fright.

The methodology used in this module gives each student the opportunity to practice with our team of professors, all experts in the respective fields, and receive feedback on their performance during the sessions so that the learning process is personalised to each student’s characteristics.

The aim of this module is for students to be able to advise on, interpret and apply legal regulations in specialised areas of law.

In these practices, counsellors must provide multidisciplinary advice that combines administrative, commercial, employment, tax and intellectual property aspects.

The module ends by examining regulated sectors, which enable markets to function and maintain their competitiveness.

Knowledge of these disciplines provides students with highly specialised training, therefore opening the door for them to practice law in highly qualified areas of the profession.

The objective of this module is to meet the growing demand for specialised profiles in new technologies law. Twenty-first-century lawyers must not only know the law inside out but they must also be capable of using technology in their everyday professional lives. In the future, legal departments are expected to automate about 50% of the work they do in their business transactions. Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity and process and document automation will be key to the future of the legal field. Thanks to this module, students will gain comprehensive knowledge of the legaltech ecosystem.
