“At TADS, you are in the driver’s seat!” Lucas Pestana Macedo,
TADS3 Graduate

“Every class is taught by the best professors in the field, which frequently means meeting the “legends” who have penned the textbooks. Likewise, leading practitioners will host you and your colleagues for 8-hour practical workshops on varied subjects, from the cross-examination of witnesses to the selection of arbitrators. The fact that SciencesPo is based in Paris, such a hub for international arbitration, only enriched my experience”.
