Panthéon-Assas University (French: Université Panthéon-Assas [ynivɛʁsite pɑ̃teɔ̃ asas], also referred to as "Assas" [asas], "Paris II" [paʁi dø], or "Sorbonne Law School") is a public university in Paris, France.
Panthéon-Assas is renowned for excellence in Law and often described as the "top law school in France"..
It is considered as the direct inheritor of the Paris Law School (1257-1970) since most of the latter’s law professors went to Panthéon-Assas and its main campuses are the same ones of those of the Paris Law Faculty, i.e. Place du Panthéon and rue d’Assas, from which its name comes from. It is providing law courses for the Sorbonne University and may become its faculty of law.
Since its founding in 1971, it has produced two presidents, four prime ministers and the holders of thirty-seven other ministerships in France and around the world. Forty alumni of the university have been members of various parliaments as well.
The majority of the nineteen campuses of Panthéon-Assas are located in the Latin Quarter, with the main campuses on place du Panthéon and rue d'Assas. The university is composed of five departments specializing in law, journalism and media, economics, public and private management, and political science, and hosts twenty-four research centres and five specialized doctoral schools. Every year, the university enrolls approximately 18,000 students, including 3,000 international students.
