Learning outcomes :
If law studies were to look like the construction of a building, the lecture of Sources and Principles of Law would certainly be its essential foundations. In other words, students will build their academic course in the Law faculty based on those solid achievements.
The lecture of Sources and Principles of Law allows students to familiarise themselves with the legal material and the legal instruments, i.e. the sources of law, the principles of law and the concepts of law. This lecture cannot equate to the mere presentation of the several law branches, side by side. It rather aims to offer a transversal approach in order for the students to grasp, on a global scale, what issues are at stake. During the lecture, law will be presented and analysed as a rule as an order, as a system, as an arborescence of branches, as a malleable element in constant evolution and reflexion.
At the end of this lecture, the students will inter alia acquire legal reflexes, will develop legal language, will master and understand the fundamental concepts of the law.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
The course is a lecture. The study of the themes and issues, which are the subject matter of the course, are completed by a critical reflection. The course requires the active and intelligent involvement of the students who are entitled to ask the professor any question of general interest that may arise from the lecture.
Some support will be offered to the students progressively throughout the lecture and will be on line on Moodle. These supports are not mandatory but will accompany the student in his or her understanding and follow-up of the lecture.
Assessment methods and criteria :
The assessment is an oral examination. Two questions, chosen at random, may be prepared on the spot beforehand. The student will present before each lecturer one question. More questions may follow the presentation of the answer.
The student may have with him or her the codes and case-law.
