Global Law Program

The São Paulo Law School of Fundação Getulio Vargas (DIREITO GV) adopts a teaching methodology that is particularly different from the models traditionally adopted in other Brazilian law schools, enabling the development of a new professional profile for Bachelors of Law.

DIREITO GV has become a solid alternative to the traditional curriculum, both in terms of content and form, as it has redefined legal teaching models and come up with initiatives like the Global Law Program.

The Global Law Program consists of a set of courses taught in English. The purpose of the program is to prepare lawyers to work in an international scenario where Brazil has been increasingly present as a global player. To serve this purpose, this program was conceived to enable foreign students to understand the general guidelines of the Brazilian legal system, promote a wide debate on global topics under a Brazilian point of view, and engage Brazilian and foreign students in multidisciplinary discussions.
