The training fits in with the extension of the objective chosen by the student. The student admitted to training will be accepted during his second year of the Master's programme by a supervising teacher responsible for supervising him in his legal activity at the training location.

The student who completes a training period within the Faculty will benefit from supervision by a supervising teacher and will be held to attend reunions and meetings organized by the latter. The student will also be held to draw up an activity report in which he describes the circumstances in which he completed his/her training, the problems he/she faced, the tasks completed and the activities in which he/she participated. He/she will conclude this report with a critical personal analysis of the practical training with which he/she has been associated.
