Contemporary world we live in, law vibrates in all aspects of life.
The Dean’s message:
”If you understand the logic of law, you can understand the whole structure of society.
And if you can understand society, the world, you can change it. And if you can change it, you can master it.”

Bachelor studies
We offer full-time undergraduate studies in the “Law” specialization, with a period of 4 years.
The period of undergraduate studies at the Faculties of Law in Europe is 4 years, because a quality legal education, even in general, cannot be obtained in a shorter period of time. It is one of the exceptions to the rule that undergraduate studies (Bologna I cycle) last 3 years, along with medical or architectural studies. Instead, legal studies at master level (Bologna II cycle) last only 1 year, because the foundations for this specialization are already laid.
You can enroll for admission to the Faculty of Law (4 years, full-time studies) if you are (at least) a high school graduate and have a baccalaureate degree.
You can also study Law at undergraduate level if you are already licensed in another field, to complete your education and to open new professional and intellectual horizons.
You also have the opportunity to complete two years of study in one, if in the first year you have particularly good school results and you want to obtain a law degree after only three years of college.
Masters’ studies
If you want to deepen your legal knowledge and obtain a higher specialization, you can enroll in the 1-year master program “Judicial Procedures and Liberal Professions”, which involves full-time courses, but with a schedule adapted to students who already practice (teaching activities take place in the afternoon).
To enroll in this program of study, you need to be already a college graduate with a bachelor’s degree.

All these and many other facilities and endowments offer optimal conditions for the organization of education.

The teachers of the Faculty of Law within the “Dimitrie Cantemir” University of Tîrgu Mureș are actively and permanently involved in the research activity. Our scientific results and achievements are visible and recognized nationally and internationally. In short, our teachers have developed and published:
About 200 books (treatises, university courses, monographs, etc.) and book chapters published in Romanian publishing houses (Romanian Academy Publishing House, Universul Juridic, CH Beck, University Press, Risoprint, Zethus, “Dimitrie Cantemir” University Publishing House in Târgu Mureș, „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași Publishing House, etc.);
Chapters in books published abroad by prestigious publishers, such as Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Società Editrice il Mulino di Bologna or Éditions Universitaires Européennes (Saarbrucken, Germany);
Approximately 450 articles and studies published in specialized journals of international or national circulation, which make a selection process of journals based on performance criteria;
Over 250 scientific papers presented at conferences, symposia, round tables and other scientific events in the country and abroad.
Also, the faculty of the Faculty of Law have been involved, over time, in numerous international research, development and innovation projects, obtained through competition, on a contract or grant basis – as project directors, experts or members of the research team.
The annual Scientific Symposium of the University – Law section
The organization of a Scientific Symposium of the University has become a tradition, shortly after the establishment of our higher education institution. Every year, professors and researchers meet at this major event to communicate the results of their latest research, exchange views and discuss current issues in their field of scientific interest.
During the Symposium, the Faculty of Law hosts a section dedicated to legal and interdisciplinary research. Some of the scientific papers presented in the “Law” section are published in the Academica Science Journal – Juridica Series (link to the dedicated page).
Scientific communication session for students and master students – Law section
The scientific communication session of students and master students is organized under the auspices of our University since the academic year 2008-2009.
For law students and masters, this is an opportunity to get involved in scientific research from the faculty benches, to work with their professors on joint projects and to grow intellectually and professionally. The most valuable research papers by students and master students are awarded and published in the Academica Science Journal – Studia Series
The importance of practical training in learning law is beyond any discussion: to be a lawyer means to be a practical person, who daily deals with practical social situations – conflicts between real people, agreements and contracts, claims and damages, compensation and so on. Knowing what the law says is not enough for a young lawyer. It is of paramount importance to know what to do and to do it quickly and well.
Consequently, the Faculty of Law pays special attention to the practical component of learning, by studying court decisions, by examples from the professional activity of teachers, by debating cases, by various practical exercises, role-plays and process or session simulations arbitration, mediation, etc.
Students in the final year carry out a compulsory internship of 240 hours, but also students in 1, 2 or 3 years can choose to do specialized practice, based on a practice agreement, which you can download here.
Judges, prosecutors, lawyers, public administration specialists or mediators are often invited to the courses of the Faculty of Law, to share their experience with students and to help them discover their vocation for a legal profession.
We periodically organize workshops, seminars and workshops, where we invite to work, together with students, professionals in the field of law. On such occasions, students had the opportunity to meet and talk with personalities such as: the UN High Representative for Population and Security, the President of the Israeli Mediators, the Hungarian man-budsman of educational rights, the President of the Romanian Mediation Council, the Dean of the Mureș Bar, the president of the Târgu Mureș Court, the representative of the Directorate for the Mureș Investigation and Fighting of Organized Crime, etc.
Events celebrated internationally or in Europe, such as Civil Justice Day, Anti-Corruption Day or Anti-Drug Day, are, for us, opportunities for other meetings with legal professionals and for application activities, to which are added events created especially in support of students, such as: Legal career day – an opportunity for young people to receive practical information and useful advice on entrance exams and study strategy and to openly discuss with their colleagues who have already taken the first steps in their career about the difficulties inherent in accessing the legal professions, but also about the satisfactions they offer to the persevering and determined to succeed.
We also believe that it is useful for our students to know the courts and prosecutor’s offices based in Târgu Mureș, for which purpose we have concluded institutional partnerships and collaboration agreements with these institutions and organize study visits, where future lawyers can get in direct contact with the judicial activity and with the professionals who work within them.
