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]

Panthéon-Assas University created in 2008 a special school for selecting its best students among the 2300 ones it legally has to accept in first year[8] in order to give them special courses and a special degree: the College of Law. In 2011, the Paris Law School was created when the first class of the College of Law had its degree. To be admitted, you have to obtain "Summa Cum Laude" in Baccalauréat, or "Magna Cum Laude" with an entrance test.[9]


Paris Law School (École de droit de Paris), also called Assas Law School (École de droit d'Assas), is a school from Panthéon-Assas University delivering a graduate degree, after the College of Law (Collège de droit) delivering an undergraduate degree. The Collège de droit was the first Law School created by French Universities in 2008.


The Collège de droit is a three-year degree, the École de droit a two-year degree. The exchange experience cannot be completed in the same time but has to be done in addition to these courses.


Panthéon-Assas University being the top faculty of law in France, media focused particularly on it and called even more this law college and school "way of excellence"[10]

Quarantine

A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease.
