AJPK Celebrates 40th Anniversary of Anglo-French LLB
The Association de Juristes de Pantheon et de King's (AJPK), the student and alumni association of the Anglo French programme, celebrated the course's 40th anniversary in Paris.
On Saturday 18 November, The Association de Juristes de Pantheon et de King’s (AJPK), the student and alumni association of the Anglo French programme, celebrated the course’s 40th anniversary with a dinner-dance at les Salons de l’Hotel de Metiers et des Arts, over-looking the Eiffel Tower.
Patrick Wallace (an alumnus of the programme, in the first graduating year of 1981) addressed the guests, as did current alumni and students, with a video message from one of the key founders of the programme, Dame Judith Mayhew-Jonas, who was programme director in 1977.
The association aims to develop and nurture a close network of students and alumni, and regularly organises a wide range of events from social meetings to law firm presentations by potential employers. The anniversary provided an opportunity to get together and celebrate.
The King’s-Paris programme is the oldest of its kind in both the UK and France and provides a challenging bi juridical and bilingual education. Students on the programme must pass programmes at both institutions to receive an LLB (from King’s) and the Maitrise en droit from Paris.
