Private international law course

Home PIL Course

Legal practitioners confronted with an international case with PIL aspects often point to the ‘legal minefield’ that arises, potentially causing unnecessary damage to the parties involved. Two important reasons for this are: 1. The complexity of PIL regulations; 2. The constant changes in that field, in particular in the area of case law (Court of Justice EU).

The IJI offers courses in private international law to present the legal framework with regard to PIL in an accessible manner, so that you can deal with international cases accurately and efficiently. The PIL courses are very practical in nature, with theory and practice alternating continuously. You will also be given the opportunity to discuss your specific international case with the experts at the PIL course. After the course, you will have a clear and up-to-date overview of PIL regulations, which will save you a lot of time when handling international cases.
