Michel Sandoz
Edit ProfileEducation
Sandoz studied at the University of Geneva, where he earned a licence (Lie.) qualification. The institution was founded in 1559 by John Calvin and Théodore de Bèze as the Academy of Geneva, a seminary intended to educate pastors and to serve as a center of public education in Protestant Geneva.
Over the following centuries, natural sciences, law, and philosophy were added to the curriculum, and a medical faculty was established in the nineteenth century. In 1873 the university dropped its religious affiliations and became officially secular, a change that shaped its character in the period when Sandoz was educated and later practised.
Career
Sandoz was admitted to the bar in Geneva in 1952. The Geneva bar association is a private-law body that represents the legal profession in Geneva and represents Geneva lawyers in Switzerland and abroad.
He subsequently worked as a partner of Sandoz, Moreillon & Reymond, a law practice based in Geneva, Switzerland. His career therefore unfolded within the Geneva legal profession, in the same city where he had completed his university studies.
