Leuphana Law School
Law at Leuphana
Leuphana Law School is a cooperation of legal scholars employed at Leuphana to work together in research and teaching. Research has an international and interdisciplinary orientation in the sense of "law in context", and is concerned with current social challenges. In teaching, the model law degree programme (starting winter semester 2022/23) will for the first time establish a link between the bachelor's / master's structure and the state law examination. At Leuphana College, we are responsible for the major and minor in law (Corporate and Business Law) as well as for the internationally oriented minor in Comparative Economic Law. The master's programmes and the doctoral programme Dr. jur. also have an international and interdisciplinary orientation.

The goal of research at Leuphana Law School is the development of transnationally oriented legal studies that turn towards the social sciences, empiricism and practice in order to find answers and solutions to social concerns of the 21st century. The interdisciplinary and international research profile emphasises socially and politically relevant topics, especially the regulation of society and economy in the context of globalisation.
By establishing the School of Public Affairs, we strengthen cooperation with economics and political sciences and focus on the opportunities, conditions, and effects of state action.
