Centre for Trade And Investment Law

TradeLab is a Geneva-based initiative which brings together students, academics, and legal practitioners with the aim of empowering stakeholders to avail the benefits of research in international trade law and international investment law. Through pro bono Legal Clinics and Practica, TradeLab connects students and experienced legal professionals to research organizations, SMEs and civil society to build lasting legal capacity. TradeLab is the brainchild of Professors of International Law, Prof. Joost Pauwelyn and Prof. Sergio Puig and has attained a global presence since 2013 with renowned practitioners and academicians like Ms. Jennifer Hillman, Prof. Debra Steger and Prof. Valerie Hughes joining the initiative. At present, the TradeLab clinics are run at prestigious universities like Georgetown University (Washington D.C.), The Graduate Institute (Geneva), IELPO (Barcelona), University of Ottawa, National University of Singapore, to name a few.

The Legal Clinics and Practica are composed of small groups of highly qualified and carefully selected law students who work on specific legal questions posed by beneficiaries (SMEs, NGOs, industry bodies etc.). The students work over the course of a semester and conduct detailed legal research and work on several drafts shared with Academic Supervisors (faculties at CTIL and their respective law schools), Mentors and beneficiaries for comments and feedback. The output ranges from a legal memorandum to a research project, report, draft law or other output tailored to the beneficiary’s needs. At the end of the semester, the groups submit a written output and orally present their project in class in the presence of the beneficiaries and other invited guests.

CTIL: The TradeLab-India operations are conducted in a hub-and-spoke model with CTIL acting as an anchor establishment between the universities and the beneficiaries in order to ensure seamless coordination and communication among all the parties. Clinics are a win-win for all involved: Beneficiaries receive expert work done for free and build capacity; students learn by doing, obtain academic credits and expand their networks; Academic Supervisors and Mentors share their knowledge on cutting-edge issues and increase their ability to attract and engage top students with proven skills.

Goals of the Clinic

First, to enhance students’ substantive legal knowledge of international economic law. Students learn, not through traditional in-class teaching, but by working “hands-on” together in a team on a specific legal project, of real practical importance to their Beneficiary.

Second, the clinic aims at improving students’ professional skills to become successful lawyers: the ability to analyze complex legal problems, to apply the law to a set of facts, to interact with Beneficiaries, to work in groups with other lawyers across cultures and language barriers, to convincingly make oral presentations, to write legal memoranda or submissions, and to adapt the explanation of legal expertise to diverse audiences.

Third, the clinic aims to stimulate personal skills and aspirations of students: to make them aware of professional opportunities in the international economic law field, and to discover new challenges and opportunities. Through interactions with other students and a diversity of Beneficiaries (including from other countries), participants will build inter-personal skills, learn about other cultures, and experience the challenges and needs of a wide variety of stakeholders affected by international economic law.
