Association of Transnational Law Schools – ATLAS

Bar-Ilan Law is a founding member of ATLAS - Association of Transnational Law Schools.

ATLAS was formed in 2006 with the mission of bringing together talented doctoral students in the field of law. ATLAS strives to promote in-depth study of legal issues related, but not limited to: the comparative legal and regulatory responses to globalization; the evolution of transnational law; and the challenges involved in international governance.

On a yearly basis, ATLAS organizes a summer school for graduate students, “Atlas Agora,” meant to think and rethink the present-day issues of international and transnational law. This event is designed to encourage legal scholarship by fostering a community of doctoral candidates and promoting the development of exceptional dissertations. The program consists of three different parts: lectures, workshops and the faculty conference. During the workshop sections, all participating doctoral candidates have the opportunity to present their graduate work-in-progress and receive expert commentary.

Current ATALS members are:

• Antwerp University, Belgium
• Bar-Ilan University, Israel
• Erasmus School of Law, Rotterdam, the Netherlands
• Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto, Canada
• Queen Mary University of London, UK
• University College Dublin, Ireland
• Université de Montréal, Canada

The academic director of ATLAS at Bar-Ilan Law is Dr. Ori Aronson.
