  Prof. Dr. Turgut Tarhanlı
In the last few decades, the nation-state and, of course, its legal system have faced the great challenge of globalization. In this context, almost every legal issue can have international or transnational consequences. This is also a challenge for lawyers, who are expected to respond to all the questions they are confronted with. Under these circumstances, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to be fully informed on every legal matter. In general, law designs the relations between individuals and institutions, but a lawyer should have the capability to scrutinize those relations on which the law is based. Consequently, legal education should not be limited to courses on black-letter law, but should pave the way to achieve knowledge and understanding of social structure, at both national and international levels.
Aware of these facts, the BİLGİ Faculty of Law has a distinctive approach to legal education. In its curriculum, the Faculty presents a list of core legal courses through which students may gain the basic knowledge about the structure and substance of law, i.e. Civil Law, Criminal Law, Commercial Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Public International Law and Theory of State. In parallel with these traditional legal courses, a variety of elective courses are also included in the curriculum, i.e. Human Rights Law, European Union Institutions, Harmonization in European Law, Internet Law, International Organizations Law, International Environmental Law, Capital Markets Law and Competition Law. Furthermore, a Legal Clinic course, which aims to practice the basic legal skills through real legal cases, was also constructed under the above-mentioned parameters.
The Faculty of Law stresses the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in legal education as one of its distinguishing characteristics.
