The program being excuted by the International Institution for the Sociology of Law in Oñati is meticulously designed so that every element of it brings about intellectual enrichment, starting from the size and diversity of the cohort that allows for deep exchange of knowledge to the structure of the program with the seminars being 2 week intensive and focused. I always say, I am a complete different person intellectually and personally after this program.
