A collège de droit ('college of law') or an école de droit ('law school') is in France a selective school inside each faculty of law in France with such a school for top students selected among the French student body.

History[]

In France, universities are not allowed to choose which students are allowed to their undergraduate degree. Panthéon-Assas University created then in 2008 a special school for selecting its best students. Several universities rapidly followed this model[1][2] It permitted to French universities to select students despite the legal global prohibition.[3][4]

Media soon called these schools "ways of excellence"[5] inside each university for "brilliant students"[6] or "grandes écoles inside universities"[7]

In 2011, the Paris Law School was created when the first class of the College of Law had its degree. To be admitted, you have to obtain "Summa Cum Laude" in Baccalauréat and pass an entrance test.[9] Each class is composed of around 100 students, now selected among the whole France each year.[10]
