INTRODUCTION LETTER
Dear reader, Being an ELSA member, you are very likely to be acquainted with the vision, purpose and means of this association. To reflect upon that, one of the means of ELSA is to assist law students and young lawyers to be internationally minded and professionally skilled. There is a vastness of ways of achieving this, and ELSA surely explores and uses them all. However, one of the ways of bridging the knowledge gained at your university library with the real work is most certainly the Student Trainee Exchange Programme. STEP relocates dry legal theory from its parallel universe with practice and combines them by unifying them and making way for solutions to the daily international legal challenges one faces in their career. But that is not all there is. STEP shapes practice and legal education into one and then ships it off outside the red border on your geographical map, taking the experience to a whole new level. Existing for almost three decades, this programme has grown to be a trusted and reliable system of exchange. This is due to the fact that over 200 law students, so called STEP officers, drive this programme into its success, expanding it and shaping it towards the needs of ELSA members. But this does not only mean obtaining traineeships. This presumes a particular segment of STEP we are very proud of: Reception. This, as well, is organised by STEP officers throughout Europe, making sure your stay in their countries is comfortable and friendly and that you are fully integrated in the society. With these words, I would like to thank all hardworking STEP officers who have made this Newsletter possible. With STEP, it is not only about the thrill of being a trainee. It is about shifting focus from national to international, augmenting your legal skills, challenging your command of languages, and lastly, making friends and creating your own network of contacts. This Newsletter is packed with exciting opportunities for exploring legal markets, cultures and living diversity in its true form. Enjoy your browsing and apply!

ROMANIA
Capital: Bucharest Official Language: Romanian Population: 19 043 767
Over the last years, Romania has emerged as a popular tourist destination for many Europeans. For their medieval atmosphere and castles, Transylvanian cities have become major tourist attractions for foreigners. Rural tourism has become an important alternative recently, and is targeted to promote such sites as Branand its Draculas Castle, the Painted churches of Northern Moldavia, the Wooden churches of Maramures and Salaj, or the Merry Cemetery in Maramures County. Monasteries, churches, synagogues, castles and palaces throughout the country, some dat-
ing from the 12th Century, depict the countrys tumultuous history. Even its Communist era is expressed through Ceausescus master planning and rebuilding of Bucharest. The best example of his testament to secularity is the Palace of Parliament the worlds second largest building after the U.S. Pentagon whose 1,000 rooms reflect the countrys best architects, artisans and building materials. But Romania has a lot of other beautiful places and interesting things to see, thats why we invite you to explore its beauty, the Carpatian Gardens.
