Summary/Abstract: Virtual Erasmus is a collaborative and cross-border legal case study project which brings together law students from different European universities via an e-learning platform. This long-distance trilateral collaboration gives future lawyers the opportunity to engage in a realworld type professional experience: working in international teams on a common task, learning to grasp and appreciate different legal contexts and cultures, while practicing language, legal, and soft skills. Given the format of the project, students gain the scope to employ and further develop their team-work abilities in an intercultural environment. Furthermore, given that they need to organise the bulk of the work themselves, there are strong features of autonomous learning incorporated into the project.
