LLM – MASTER OF LAWS in Comparative Law, Economics and Finance The Master of Laws in Comparative Law, Economics and Finance (LLM CLEF) is a joint interdisciplinary program between the Departments of Law of the Universities of Turin and Eastern Piedmont, the International University College of Turin and Collegio Carlo Alberto established in response to the current lack of discussion and studies on a transnational set of normative principles capable of controlling economic processes. The program specifically looks to engage students and young scholars from all over the world with special emphasis on the periphery, or ‘global south’ , with leading figures in economics, law and the humanities. A number of renown intellectuals and scholars from around the world have served on the faculty including: Guido Calabresi (Yale Law School), Ugo Mattei (Universities of Torino & California- Hastings), Josef Halevi (Sydney), Duncan Kennedy (Harvard Law School), Günter Frankenberg and Gunther Teubner (Frankfurt), Jan Toporowski (SOAS London), Talha Syed (California-Berkely), Avi Singh (New Delhi) and Thomas Ferguson (NY Institute for New Economic Thinking).
Rethinking Law Economics and Finance The LLM CLEF aspires to develop broader, context-driven approaches in order to equip its students with both a sophisticated understanding of the contemporary debates within the legal and economic profession, and familiarize them with the tools for critical analysis. The curriculum offers a truly interdisciplinary, comparative and critical approach. Particular emphasis is paid on practical considerations, rather than merely familiarizing students with the black letter law. Accordingly, each course explores law in action, investigating the myriad of non-legal factors which influence the course of financial interactions, and the field of law and finance more generally, while the Workshops and Clinical components are designed to prepare student for the rigorous demands of public or private practice as well as to synthesize their theoretical understanding with actual experience. The program broadly examines the intersections of politics, law and economics from diverse geography, ideology and disciplinary perspectives to address the growing challenges facing the global hegemony of liberalism.

Clinical Program Human Rights and Migration Law Clinic (HRMLC) Drawing upon scholars and students from around the globe, the Human Rights & Migration Law Clinic (HRMLC) attempts to bridge the gap between classroom education and the reality of professional practice, emphasizing the sensitization of students as future professionals to the problems of social justice. Already well- established in other countries, clinical legal education is an effective tool in providing students with an opportunity to learn about the law in action. In this spirit, the clinical program has two primary objectives: first, to encourage students throughout their clinical experience to envisage how legal institutions and practices can be reformed and reorganized to provide the best service and secondly, to provide the much-needed pro bono legal assistance to under-represented individuals and organizations within Turin, complementing the already existing support provided by local organizations working locally for the benefit of migrants.
Under the coordination of Ulrich Stege, the HRMLC has established a new style of legal education in the Piedmont region by encouraging students throughout experiential learning – learning by doing – for academic credit to foster a sense of social responsibility and to complement the already existing support provided by local organizations working locally for the benefit of migrants. The one-year program is thus implemented with the support of various partnerships, and enhances the cooperation between these institutions by using synergically their different activities, competences and structures. Specialised lawyers plays a key role for the clinic through advising, supporting and supervising the clinical activities at all stages. The program is designed partially under the external placement model, where students will be placed at the legal aid offices of Italian Trade Unions and local Non-Profit Organizations working in the field of migration in Turin. The HRMLC program provides the clinical students with the necessary theoretical background for the clinical activities in: International and European Migration Law (1st term), Migration Law in Praxis (1st term), Legal Research and Writing (1st term), Clinical Seminar/Workshop Series (1st, 2nd and 3rd term). All elements of the course work try to provide the students with a practical view into the issue by using active teaching methods, such as case analyses and simulations. Classes and lectures are accompanied by a Clinical Seminar / Workshop Series where professionals who are active in the field of migration provide insight into the practical problems related to legal practice in the field of human rights and migration.
