Master's degree in notarial law

The creation of the Notarial Law specialization responds to a request from the notarial profession to highlight the specificity of the notarial profession, and in particular to distinguish it from courses leading to the rather concurrent field of wealth management.

The Notarial Law specialisation is intended to welcome students who have already achieved an excellent course of study and wish to enter the notary's profession by the so-called academic route.

The latter provides a specially designed training, from the first year of the Master's degree, for the Notariat. It offers the notaries they will become an academic background enabling them to project themselves, in a sustainable way, into a notarial career.

The integrated training is designed to provide the notaries with a solid foundation for their future career.

The training includes a strong theoretical and research dimension, the second year being partly devoted to the mastery of computer tools for research. At the same time, and like any notary, the student will be regularly involved in the resolution of cases; an internship of one month (minimum) in the second year allows him/her to grasp the various aspects of the profession.

The application for entry into the Notary Law Major assumes a strong capacity for work.

The Notary Law major is primarily aimed at students wishing to become notaries.

It is also of interest to notaries and their associates who hold an M1 degree and wish to perfect their knowledge of town planning and local authority law.

This course is open from the 1st year Master's degree.
