As the building and consolidation of the rule of law in Cambodia necessitates an appropriation of rules and laws, it is vital to train highly qualified jurists capable of implementing them. As the Cambodian economy continues to grow, there is a significant need for highly qualified jurists. Moreover, the entry of Cambodia into ASEAN would reinforce the market's need for international lawyers. Likewise, the future accession of Cambodia to the World Trade Organization will accelerate the process of internationalization of the Cambodian economy.          The Royal University of Law and Economics intends, therefore, to provide students the opportunity to further their study through a Master's programs in their study through a Master's programs in their home country, enabling them to acquire an advanced legal knowledge and professional skills.

The Education will focus mainly on international law (Public International Law and International Commercial Law) and on Comparative Law, particularly, on regional legal rules. Lecturers will be selected among university scholars, officials of  the administrative authority or among staffs of international organizations, magistrates. attorneys at law, and representatives of the economic sector residing in Cambodia or from different countries. The teaching languages will be French and English.            The program will be launched from an alliance established between the RULE and the French Universities of Lyon 2 and Lyon 3 back in 1992. The project will welcome new partners from Japan, Vietnam and Thailand. The Master's program will be managed by an Institute of  International Business Law composed of a group of universities and cooperating agencies that are partner to the project. This institute will be integrated into the RULE, but will enjoy autonomy of management.
