Law Without Walls is a long-standing collaboration between HEAD - Hautes Etudes Appliquées du Droit and the University of Miami, offering HEAD students the opportunity each year to participate in a dynamic and truly international three-day experience.
This year’s edition took place in Carcavelos, Portugal, and was hosted by the prestigious NOVA School of Law - Faculdade de Direito da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. The programme brought together workshops, presentations, coaching sessions, networking opportunities, and social events, creating a rich and immersive professional environment.
Two HEAD students, Emma Méchi and Aubin Lemaire, had the opportunity to expand their international network by engaging with legal professionals from leading organisations such as Disney, HSBC, NatWest, Microsoft, Pinsent Masons, Nokia, and Dentons, among others.
Congratulations to Aubin Lemaire and his team for winning the Audience Choice Award for the Perkins Coie & Microsoft challenge.
The students returned to Paris with valuable hands-on experience and a broader, more global perspective on the legal profession.
Warm thanks to Anita R. and Michel Destéfano for making this experience possible.
We already look forward to next year’s edition and to many more inspiring opportunities ahead.
