Languages are of central importance to the study of law because law is language-dependent. Legal and linguistic skills are thus closely connected. Additionally, European and international law increasingly influence German law. Accordingly, the study of foreign languages and nurturing of international contacts are among the basic requirements for a successful legal career. For some time, we have offered our students the opportunity to acquire these key qualifications during their study of German law. Our Law & Language programs are very successful and appreciated by our students.

Furthermore, our international exchange programs provide the opportunity to study law in a foreign legal system and language in the foreign country. We consider it particularly important to unite the understanding of and immersion into foreign languages with an introduction to the legal and intellectual cultures in the countries selected.

| The School of Law has been able to show the quality of these educational programs a number of times through the success our students have had in the "Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court" competition. Our students have placed first or second in the national rounds of this competition on a regular basis with the result that they have qualified for international competition in Washington, D.C. At this annual competition in the USA, moot court teams are judged against teams from the rest of the world. The teams are required to argue a hypothetical international law case to the best of their ability. In the face of this rough competition, the Jessup team from the School of Law has also been able to attain high ranking in Washington, D.C.
