Elise Poillot is full professor of Droit Civil (civil law) at the University of Luxembourg’s Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, which she joined in 2009.
A graduate from the University of Reims-Champagne-Ardenne, she conducted her PhD research in the field of European contract law and has held post-doc positions in Germany (University of Münster) and in Italy (University of Turin). From 2005 to 2009 she was associate professor at the Law Faculty of the Lyon III, Jean Moulin, University where she was also Deputy Director of the Edouard Lambert Institute of Comparative Law.
Her main fields of research and teaching have been consumer law and general contract law, in a national comparative and EU perspective. For the last four years she has been deeply involved in setting up and directing the University of Luxembourg’s Consumer Law legal clinic (“Clinique du Droit”), a programme that is strongly supported by the national Bar Association (“Barreau de Luxembourg”). Prof. Poillot has also been instrumental in setting up a network of similar legal clinics throughout Europe. The network recently obtained an Erasmus+ grant with the aim of establishing shared best practices in clinical legal education. More recently, her research is focused also on the transformation of the concept of civil law (droit civil) in civil law jurisdictions and on the impact of ADR on enforcement-systems in the financial sector.
On all these topics she has extensively written (in French, English and Italian) both monographs and articles published in important law reviews and books edited by leading European scholars. She regularly presents developments of EU jurisprudence in the field of consumer law in the Recueil Dalloz and in the Journal de Droit Européen.
A member of several international associations of legal scholars, Prof. Poillot – who is fluent in English and Italian and has a good knowledge of German and Spanish – has promoted numerous cooperation agreements with French, Italian and Japanese universities and is regularly invited to hold lessons and conferences in foreign law schools. In 2015/16 she was a member of the Italian national selection committee for full and associate professors of private law and in 2017/18 a member of the Belgian universities study programmes evaluation committee. She is also on the editorial board of several law reviews, such as Osservatorio di diritto civile e commerciale and Cliniques Juridiques, and is a member of the scientific committee of the European Network for Clinical Legal Education (ENCLE).
She has been supervisor of numerous PhD candidates and on final academic committees and panels.
Prof. Poillot is also chairperson of the Association of Professors of the University of Luxembourg (APUL), which is engaged in presenting goals and concerns of the Luxembourg academic community vis-à-vis the governing institutions of the University and public institutions (Parliament, Government and administrations).
