Activities in Further Education on Media Law: Seminars for Legal Experts

The Institute has been engaged in the area of basic and further education on media law for several years. In April 2006, the German Federal Bar Council established an avenue for becoming a specialist solicitor in “Copyright and Media Law” and with that established a recognised index of specialisation available to lawyers who have the appropriate emphases in their interests or activities. In cooperation with a provider of courses for specialist lawyers, Dr. Grannemann & von Fürstenberg, the Institute is developing curricula and materials for a specialist lawyers’ programme, “Copyright and Media Law”, which is to be offered from 2008 onwards. Distinguished lecturers from academic circles, from commercial practice as well as from the judiciary and the Bar have been enlisted to contribute to the courses.
