Law at Kozminski University: Training Lawyers for a Changing World

The College of Law at Kozminski University is evolving its curriculum to equip students with legal expertise, business acumen, and the essential technological skills required for the modern professional landscape.

The Changing Role of the Legal Professional

The modern lawyer operates far beyond the confines of the courtroom or the legal code. Professionals today are increasingly embedded in corporate boardrooms, technological projects, international organizations, and teams managing complex data, AI, and regulatory compliance.

To meet these demands, the College of Law at Kozminski University develops study programs that combine a solid legal foundation with practical, business-oriented, and interdisciplinary training.

Specialized Modules and Practical Training

Students select specialized modules ranging from business law and forensics to tax advisory and new technology law. The curriculum emphasizes active learning through case studies, simulated court proceedings, negotiations, and mediations.

Resources include a dedicated practice courtroom, extensive legal databases, and the VR@Law project, which allows students to navigate realistic decision-making scenarios. The program also features courses in rhetoric, forensic psychology, and professional internships.

Integrating Legal and Technological Competence

Prof. Bartłomiej Nowak, Dean of the College of Law, emphasizes that modern graduates need three core layers of competence: legal mastery, institutional understanding, and future-ready skills such as critical thinking and AI proficiency.

The market requires lawyers who can utilize digital tools while maintaining independent judgment and personal responsibility. This approach targets students who seek not only to understand the law but to actively navigate the environment in which it is applied.
