Welcome to ERA – Academy of European Law

---------------

 

---------------

Lawyers in private practice constitute one of ERA's key target groups.

ERA often cooperates closely with the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) and its members, including in the organisation of joint conferences and training projects.

Most of the Academy's conferences, courses and seminars meet the requirements for continuing professional development (CPD/CLE) and are formally accredited in many jurisdictions.

Young lawyers (under 30) usually benefit from a 25% discount on the participation fees for the Academy's open conferences and seminars.

ERA can also organise made-to-measure training programmes for law firms.
