the ground’, eventually shifting their strategy from litigation to a combination of legal consultancy, advocacy, coalition building and even public awareness building.


The course is designed to facilitate participants to take their career to the next level, both in terms of their knowledge, their ability to see problems from others’ perspectives and by helping them to build their network.


Is it lecture focused or research based or a combination? The degree involves a combination of lectures that are de- livered online and in person at the five immersive weekends in London at King’s College. Teaching centres on interdisci- plinary research. The Exec LLM degree is based on the premise that lawyering today requires considerable flexibility, competences and resources, which are not readily available to every lawyer. At the centre of the degree is the shift away from training lawyers in learning and interpreting the law, primarily through the study of jurisprudence or through the interpretation of statutory law. Instead, students are in- vited to take on the perspective of and step into the role of the lawyer, advocate, activist who is involved in ‘building’ a case from a set of diverse, inchoate and constantly evolving facts and data.


Any examples of the core modules available? Some examples of the core modules required to complete the degree successfully are: Transnational Law, Advanced Competition and Finance Law, International and Comparative Oil and Gas Law, Global Business Ethics, Decision-Making, Risk: Communication and Management, Managing Public Bodies and Managing Multi-National Enterprises, International Dispute Resolution, Negotiation and Leadership Skills and several sectoral case studies to illustrate each of these areas of practice.


The Executive LLM Degree is a crucial element in confronting stu- dents as future practitioners with the real-world challenges of an effective ‘access to justice’. Assuming the position of legal practice and rights advocacy, students immerse themselves into a case from the ‘bottom up’ by identifying and negotiating the affected and in- volved interests, finding and navigating the applicable law, including possibly – soft law, codes of conduct, social norms etc and devel- oping a legal interest representation strategy (LIRS). In contrast to giving legal advice to a client in a more or less confined and con- crete legal question regarding, say, liability, entitlement, conviction or acquittal, the development of a LIRS might include a variety of avenues, including but not limited to designing a litigation or de- fence strategy, to the enhancing of legal and political rights, to en- gaging in coalition and public awareness building or to contributing to a sustainable stakeholder interest representation process..
