Master Justice, Proces Et Procedures — Conseil et contentieux

Tuition fees for Master Justice, Proces Et Procedures — Conseil et contentieux are 288 USD per year.

Université de Tours, in Tours, France, offers this two-year master's program in Justice, Procès et Procédures (Justice, Trials and Procedures), with a Conseil et contentieux (Legal Advice and Litigation) specialization, taught in French. This area of law covers both the advisory side of legal practice, where lawyers guide clients on how to structure agreements and avoid disputes, and the contentious side, where disputes are argued and resolved before courts or through alternative mechanisms. Students in this specialization typically study subjects such as civil and commercial procedure, contract litigation, evidence and proof, negotiation and mediation techniques, and the strategic considerations involved in choosing between litigation and settlement. Coursework often addresses the practical stages of a legal dispute, from initial client consultation and case assessment through pleadings, hearings, and enforcement of judgments, alongside the drafting skills needed for legal correspondence and court filings. Because the specialization spans both advisory and litigation work, students also build competencies in client communication, risk assessment, and case strategy that apply across many areas of legal practice. Graduates commonly pursue careers as practicing lawyers handling civil or commercial disputes, in-house legal counsel managing contentious matters for companies, legal advisers in law firms, or mediators and arbitrators. Others move into corporate legal departments, insurance companies handling claims and litigation, or further specialized legal training. Instruction is delivered in French, the annual tuition is 250 EUR, and studies begin in September.
