Assessment procedures
The study year is divided into two semesters, with the last week reserved for exams.
Students are graded according to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) standard promoted by the European Union. The assessment system complies with the 2025-2026 internal study regulations; the average grade for a course or module is used to assess the effort made by each student and to help them make decisions about their academic and professional choices.
It includes elements of continuous assessment, the evaluation of various assignments and the grade obtained during the semester assessments.
Under the direction of the School Director, the school jury meets once a year to decide on the case of each student (passing, repeating, reorientation).
Students validate their year with 60 ECTS (i.e. 30 ECTS per semester) and an average of 10/20 per module, bearing in mind that 5 is an eliminatory mark for a course.
In addition, all the educational requirements must be met:
- Compulsory work placement for initial training students
- Activity report in MBA 2
- Final dissertation in MBA 2
- Personal development (participation in school life)
Any student who does not obtain an average of 10/20 in a module will be invited to the make-up session to retake the exams set by the passing jury.
A second School Jury will take place after the make-up session to decide on the case of each student: conditional admission for 2-year sandwich students, repeating a year, reorientation, exclusion, gap year.

Teaching method
- Specificity of the ESLSCA methodology: The course is based on very active student participation in all events organised by the teaching staff and the school. This active participation begins with the courses taught, which are based on inverted teaching, practical cases, legal workshops, legal and financial arrangements, etc.
- Competitive exams (Paris Bar/DSCG, etc.): the programme allows student lawyers to validate their Individual Teaching Project (IPP), which is 6 months of training.
Student participation and involvement - Group work
- Skills development (soft-skills, etc.): As well as technical skills, the constant involvement of students enables them to develop human and interpersonal qualities, which are increasingly valued by recruiters.
Events
Business law conference
Students participate closely in the organisation and preparation, in contact with professionals, of colloquia on topical subjects in Law, Finance and Management. A colloquium, unlike a conference, deals with a theme in several subjects, whereas a conference deals with just one subject. The target audience tends to be research professors, university lecturers and professionals. The conference proceedings are published in recognised academic journals.
