Who is the College of Law and Business?
The self-called ‘boutique college’, CLB is a highly respected and distinguished institution in all of the circles where it takes an active role. For example, CLB’s Law & Ethics of Human Rights publication placed 4th in the prestigious Washington and Lee University law journal rankings, together with Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Boston College. During their studies, students compete in international mediation and arbitration competitions, such as the prestigious International Chamber of Commerce mediation competition in Paris where the students won first place.
The College’s strong social and ethical principles are coupled with student-centric learning and international focus, as evident in the faculty members from the best academic institutions worldwide, and offering law students to intern with Immigration and Refugee clinics at Harvard and the University of Pittsburgh and business students to participate in an Eco-Hub startup incubator in Israel in their final year.
