A collège de droit ('college of law'), sometimes called école de droit ('law school') or académie de droit ('law academy'), is in France a selective school inside each French university or faculty of law for its best students which deliver a specific diploma of the university.

History

In France, universities are not allowed to choose which students are allowed to their undergraduate degree. Panthéon-Assas University created then in 2008 a special school for selecting its best students. Several universities rapidly followed this model^[1]^[2] It permitted to French universities to select students despite the legal global prohibition.^[3]^[4]

Media soon called these schools "ways of excellence"^[5] inside each university for "brilliant students"^[6] or "grandes écoles inside universities"^[7]
