Mission Statement
For the past 12 years Pericles ABLE Project has dedicated itself to giving students, businesspeople and lawyers, the best possible training in Moscow. Due to business practices becoming more global, lawyers need to have an excellent grasp of not only Russian law but also of Western law and legal reasoning. But it’s hard for working professionals to travel abroad for further schooling. Thus, Pericles ABLE Project has introduced its two year, evening Master of Laws program. This program took many years to build and a lot of it can be attributed to Pericles' staff and to representatives of many Western law firms working here in Russia. These people have enabled Pericles to take the American standard of legal education, bring it to Russia and offer a degree that gives great rewards to our students.
We especially want to thank the law firms of White & Case; LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae; Clifford Chance; Baker & McKenzie; Debevoise & Plimpton; Squire, Sanders & Dempsey; Salans, and Egorov, Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners; for their generous donations of scholarship support, occasional use of facilities, allowing their lawyers to teach courses, and general support of our programs. We would also like to thank the American Embassy in Moscow for sponsoring special courses on Constitutional Law, Immigration Law, and White Collar Criminal Law, and the EU Commission, EU Project on Russia’s Assession to the WTO, and Association of European Businesses for inviting our students to attend special events and lectures.
