Stand out as a global law professional
Comparative Law Methodology at IE University
Through this methodology, we compare similarities and differences across various legal systems, and offer comprehensive training by comparing civil law and common law jurisdictions.
From beginning to end, our comparative law programs prepare our students to think and act as international legal professionals, giving them a thorough understanding of legal concepts, systems, and institutions.
In addition to this emphasis on comparative law, our programs feature a practice-oriented approach, helping students to deepen their understanding of legal institutions and solve problems by focusing on international legal practice.
We aim to produce graduates who truly understand legal institutions from a conceptual perspective, allowing them to master the practice of international law.

Comparative law teaches global and universal concepts by comparing different legal systems. This methodology is crucial at IE University, since most of our students come from abroad and will practice the law in different regions.
