The project LAWtrain offers practice-oriented face-to-face training activities for lawyers and instruments for self-learning free of charge.
The face-to-face training modules focus on key topics of Regulation No 1215/2012 (Brussels I Recast Regulation), such as jurisdiction over cyber torts, jurisdiction on internet marketing and over consumers, cross-border interim and provisional measures, as well as key topics of Regulation No 2201/2003 (Brussels II bis Regulation), such as jurisdiction, lis alibi pendens, children’s hearing, fragmentation of the recognition and enforcement regimes.
Alongside the practice-oriented face-to-face training seminars and in order to facilitate the self-learning process, the consortium created an innovative set of PowToon self-learning videos in seven EU official languages on the topics covered by the face-to-face training.
All the PowToon videos can be watched on the LAWtrain self-learning YouTube channel.
Very soon also an handbook of case-studies, drafted in English, will be freely available on the LAWtrain website.
