Go-to-market is institutional: student recruitment via Parcoursup, the faculty website, open days, Mardis du Droit lectures, Start'U summer school, and the Forum des métiers; professional and international partnerships (Barreau de Bordeaux, EDA, ENM, ENAP, CNB, University of Bayreuth, University of Kent) anchor career pathways and exchange programs.
