Case Law Workshop: Exploring Corporate Law with Fourth-Year Law Students and Lexis Nexis

September 1 > December 20, 2024

Fourth-year law students from Saint Joseph University recently participated in a case law workshop (Ateliers de jurisprudence) in collaboration with Lexis Nexis, focusing on landmark judicial decisions in corporate law.

Under the guidance of Dr. Rita Waked and Lexis Nexis experts, students delve into the in-depth analysis of real court cases, learning to interpret complex judgments and extract essential elements. The summary-writing process requires both rigor and precision, allowing students to familiarize themselves with professional publication standards.

The workshop also offers a unique professional dimension: the summaries written by students will be published on the Lexis Nexis platform, a global leader in legal research. Each summary will be credited to the student and the University, providing them visibility within the legal community.

By allowing students to publish on such a prestigious platform, the University reinforces its commitment to providing an education of excellence focused on practical experience and professional standards.
