Established in 1987, the School of Law offers quality education to undergraduate and postgraduate students. In particular, three goals are high on our agenda, namely: to be a world renowned centre for research and teaching of law; to equip students with global knowledge, skills and perspectives; and to maintain close links with local and international legal establishments. These goals are reflected in the composition of our faculty, our curricula and enrichment activities. Our School is staffed by a stellar international faculty with a multicultural profile, bringing with them a diversity of expertise and strengths. With the Professor combined efforts of staff and students, our School has established expertise in a Geraint Howells wide range of fields including Chinese law, comparative law, Hong Kong Basic Law, commercial law, consumer law, environmental law, constitutional law, human rights, criminal justice, WTO law, international trade and investment law, international economic law, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. To meet the challenges of globalization, our School has established an International Advisory Board, comprising distinguished legal practitioners as well as renowned professors from overseas universities, to guide and further enhance the quality of our teaching and research. Our School maintains close links with its counterparts in Mainland China, Europe, North America and across the Asia-Pacific region. Students have many opportunities to develop a global perspective in the study of law through exposure in various activities organized by the School, including collaborative programmes with Aix- Marseille University and University Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne in France, the Global Legal Education and Awareness Project (G-LEAP) in cooperation with Monash University in Australia and University College, Oxford in UK, legal placements in Mainland China, Hong Kong and overseas, as well as international mooting competitions. In addition, we collaborate with the Supreme People’s Court of the PRC and its National Judges College to admit Chinese judges to our Master of Laws (LLM) programme and to offer a tailor-made Doctor of Juridical Science (JSD) programme for Chinese senior judges, while a short-term and highly specialized programme is also organized for other Chinese senior judges. The presence of these mainland judges in our School offers an exceptional opportunity to our students for exchange of views as well as a well-informed understanding of the current Chinese legal system and its development. I look forward to welcoming you to our community and working with you at CityU Law School. Professor Geraint Howells Dean School of Law 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAMME LEADERS Thank you for your interest in the Master of Laws Programme at the City University of Hong Kong School of Law. The Master of Laws (LLM) Programme is dynamic in meeting the society and the world’s needs. It provides local and overseas students with the opportunities to learn the professional skills and knowledge necessary to become an integral part of the emerging Asian economy. Participation in our programme also offers you the opportunity to take part in the GLOBAL GATEWAY®, as well as exchange opportunities to Dr Ding Chunyan Dr Xing Lijuan USA, Switzerland, Germany, the LLM Programme Leader LLM Associate Programme Leader Netherlands, Australia, China and Korea. Students can study global legal issues in the Asian context with a diverse group of classmates and join a community of professionals, including alumni from Athens, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, India, the Mainland Mongolia, Macau, Nepal, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Sweden, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Turkey, UK and USA. In recognition of the soaring demand in specific fields, our programme consists of seven streams: Chinese and Comparative Law Stream, International Economic Law Stream, Common Law Stream, Maritime and Transportation Law Stream, Intellectual Property and Technology Law Stream, Corporate and Commercial Law Stream, and General Stream. It is notable that the Chinese and Comparative Law Stream as introduced in 1995 was the first programme of its kind in the world. With the rich curriculum we provide, you are able to choose among different streams to best suit your personal interests and career ambitions. You may also take advantage of the research opportunities, cutting-edge professional skills course, internship possibilities and innovative collaborative programme at the School of Law. The LLM programme is taught not only by our law school’s reputational faculty but also by a team of distinguished scholars and experienced professionals from well-known law schools worldwide. CityU School of Law has been running a pioneering Chinese judge programme for six cohorts. Collaborating with the Supreme People’s Court of China and National Judges College, a number of Chinese judges are selected to study the LLM programme at CityU. In consequence, our LLM students have this unique opportunity to interact with Chinese judge students in order to gain insider’s perspectives on Chinese judicial system. The School of Law has collaborative programmes with Europe-Asia Research Institute of Aix-Marseille University and University Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne. Selected students will study at these partner universities and obtain two postgraduate degrees: one from the partner university and the other from CityU. Current CityU LLM students in their last year of study at CityU may apply for admission to the LLM in European Business Law programme at the Aix-Marseille University. Successful students will receive advanced standing. The cooperation with University Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne enables participating CityU students to spend a semester at University Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne and other semester(s) at CityU. In sum, our programme offers a unique blend of academic and practical training in a broad range of subjects; it provides substantial leadership in its area and is taught by highly qualified and experienced professionals. We very much look forward to welcoming you to our programme and assist you in completing the programme successfully. 3 INTRODUCTION In 1995, the School of Law (SLW) at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) began the Master of Laws Programme in response to significant demand by the professional community for lawyers with postgraduate legal training in Chinese and Comparative Law. Since then the development of China’s economic and legal reform, its accession to the World Trade Organization, the transformation of the Asian economy and the globalization of the world’s economy have only increased the demand for more lawyers with advanced legal education. The professional demand, for international lawyers with sophisticated legal skills and knowledge to execute international business transactions, participate in sound dispute resolution methods, promote sustainable development as well as contribute to the digital economy and cultural/scientific exchanges, is expanding. The LLM Programme provides local and overseas students the opportunity to learn the professional skills and knowledge necessary to become an integral part of the emerging Asian economy. The programme permits students to design their legal studies to suit their own career goals. In particular, our comprehensive educational programme provides students the chance to write a publishable thesis, learn essential professional legal skills, hone them in a professional setting and study any of a variety of courses offered each semester. Our students may choose a specialization in Chinese and Comparative Law, International Economic Law, Common Law, Maritime and Transportation Law, Intellectual Property and Technology Law, Corporate and Commercial Law, or follow a general course of study. Our LLM students are also eligible to take part in the GLOBAL GATEWAY® Programme, a dynamic opportunity for international legal study. It allows students to tailor their international legal study objectives based upon their interests and career goals. The GLOBAL GATEWAY® Programme has a series of cooperative agreements with a number of legal education institutions worldwide that allows students to participate in concurrent study opportunities or exchange programme. Current enrollment is over 120 students. There are around 40 full time faculty members and an expanding number of adjunct faculty members, all recognized practitioners in the field, involved in teaching of the LLM Programme. Guest lecturers have included, amongst others, scholars from prestigious

Rognon1 1 UFR Génétique, élevage et reproduction, AgroParisTech, Université Paris-Saclay, 75005 Paris, France [email protected] (Corresponding Author) Summary In this paper, we present the realizations of our team in the field of online training. Two categories of realizations may be considered: (i) series of online materials which constitute a consistent whole on a large topic (packages) and (ii) punctual materials on more focused topics. Some lessons are drawn from these experiences and we conclude that online training is a valuable tool which comes in addition to the work of teachers but does not replace it. Keywords: online training, animal breeding and genetics Introduction Our institution, namely AgroParisTech, provides with training at different levels of higher education: (i) curriculum for “ingénieurs” (from 3rd year of Bachelor to 2nd year of Master), (ii) Masters, (iii) PhD and, (iv) continuing education for people employed in various sectors (industry, extension services, academia, etc.). In addition, online training is under development in different fields covered by our institution. In the field of animal breeding and genetics, our team contributes to all the above levels. Among other contributions, we coordinate 3 courses or programs: a 2nd year of MSc. course: Predictive and integrative animal biology (PRIAM) [1]; an International PhD program: European Graduate School in Animal Breeding and Genetics (EGS-ABG) [2]; a national continuing education course: Higher course in animal breeding (CSAGAD) [3].The purpose of this paper is twofold: (i) to present our realizations and projects of online training, and (ii) to draw some lessons from these experiences.

The French Legal Studies Curriculum: Its History and Relevance as a Model for Reform Thomas E. Carbonneau* I. Introduction Much like a fine wine of precious vintage, the legal studies curriculum in France took centuries to reach its point of maturity. By and large, it is a product of careful molding and enlightened experimentation, although some disparity exists between its theo- retical promise and its actual implementation within the French university system. Moreover, its history is not without its share of ill-conceived hopes and retrogressive thinking. This article at- tempts to describe and analyze those events which fostered the historical metamorphosis of the French legal studies curriculum. The predominance of a broad academic -approach to law and the concomitant absence of a narrow "trade sohool" mentality in the French law schools might be attributed to the general organi- zation of higher education in France.1 The basic law degrees, the licence and the maitrise en droit, are undergraduate degrees; stu- dents enter the university law program at the age of eighteen or nineteen after having obtained the baccalaurdat (the French high school diploma).
