The ELBML curriculum features a wide range of key subjects on the Cambodian legal system and practice, ranging from finance and banking, corporate governance, real estate transactions, commercial arbitration to investment and trade.

- have a bachelor of law, public administration, international relations, or equivalent;

[Learn by Doing: Advanced Negotiation at ELBML]

At ELBML, learning goes beyond lectures and textbooks. Our courses are designed to help students develop the practical judgment, communication skills, and professional confidence needed in real legal practice.

Advanced Negotiation is one example of this practice-oriented approach. Led by Mrs. Prom Savada—an experienced lawyer, commercial arbitrator, commercial mediator, and adjunct lecturer—the course combines legal and negotiation frameworks with hands-on exercises, simulations, and problem-solving activities.

Students learn how to prepare strategically, identify interests, assess BATNA and reservation points, manage pressure, communicate effectively, generate options, make concessions, and negotiate ethically and professionally. Just as importantly, they learn by doing—working through realistic scenarios, testing strategies, reflecting on outcomes, and learning from one another.

This kind of experiential learning is central to ELBML. Across the program, students are encouraged not only to understand the law but also to apply it through case-based learning, simulations, role-plays, moot competitions, research, field studies, and other professional development activities.

Admissions for the 2026-2027 ELBML intake are still open. If you are looking for an English-taught LL.M. that combines academic rigor with practical legal training and real-world learning, we invite you to explore ELBML.

Congratulations to the ELBML-ELBBL team on advancing to the Hong Kong Preliminary Rounds of the 2026 UPICC International Arbitration Moot!

The UPICC Moot, organized by the UNIDROIT Asian Transnational Law Centre under the UNIDROIT Academy together with the Beijing Arbitration Commission/Beijing International Arbitration Court, challenges students to apply the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts to a complex international commercial arbitration problem.

Teams were first required to prepare and submit written memorials. The Moot Organizing Committee then considered memorial scores, diversity, and other relevant factors in selecting teams to advance to the oral rounds. RULE’s team has now been selected as one of 24 teams progressing to the Hong Kong Preliminary Rounds, which will take place from 4 to 6 November 2026.

This is a significant achievement, particularly as this is RULE’s first participation in the competition. It reflects not only the substantial effort our students have invested in legal research, written advocacy, argument development, and teamwork, but also ELBML and ELBBL’s continued commitment to practice-oriented legal education, advocacy training, and meaningful international learning opportunities.

We warmly congratulate the team and wish them every success as they prepare for the oral rounds in Hong Kong. The top four teams will progress to the semi-final and final rounds at UNIDROIT headquarters in Rome in January 2027.

Admissions to the 2026-2027 ELBML intake are still open. If you are looking for an English-taught LL.M. that combines academic rigor, practical legal training, and opportunities such as international moot competitions, professional development, and international exposure, we warmly invite you to explore ELBML and join our new intake.

We are pleased to share that our workshop on “Time Management for Law Master’s Students” last Friday went very well, with students receiving practical, hands-on tips on managing their time, priorities, workload, energy, and competing commitments more effectively.

Led by Mr. Alywin Oh of Brighton Academy, the session focused on practical strategies that students can immediately apply to their studies, particularly as they prepare for or work on their Master’s Research Papers.

At ELBML, we care about more than providing quality legal education. We also want our students to develop the practical and personal skills they need to manage demanding workloads, stay focused, and thrive throughout their studies and beyond.

Many thanks to Mr. Alywin Oh for the engaging and practical session and to our students for their active participation.

We are pleased to feature Dr. Radu Mares in our Partner Testimonial, reflecting on the longstanding collaboration between the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) and ELBML.

Drawing on RWI’s years of engagement with the program in responsible business conduct and business and human rights education, Dr. Mares highlights ELBML’s continuous development in curriculum, teaching methodologies, and practice-oriented learning.

A key example of this collaboration is the co-development of case-based teaching materials on Cambodia’s organic rice and biofuel sectors. These locally grounded case studies allow students to engage with real-world questions relating to responsible business conduct, ESG, smallholder farming, and sustainable business practices in Cambodia.

Dr. Mares also highlights ELBML’s multidisciplinary approach and its efforts to connect legal education with business schools, the private sector, civil society organizations, and public institutions.

Partnerships such as this are central to ELBML’s commitment to providing legal education that is academically rigorous, practically relevant, and responsive to contemporary challenges facing businesses and society.
