Learning outcomes :
This is an introductory course which, as such, aims to familiarise students with the basic concepts of public law and civil law.
One of the objectives of this course is to prepare students for the public law courses they will take from the second semester onwards.
Prerequisites :
None
Co-requisites :
None
Course contents :
The public law part of the course focuses on the so-called "sources and principles of law". This ranges from the definition of a norm to an examination of the main types of norms, the ways in which they are adopted and the mechanisms for preserving the legal hierarchy. These issues are addressed in relation to both domestic and international law.
The "private law" section introduces the basic concepts of civil law: definition of legal subjects, study of legal obligation (legal act and fact), property and "droits réels" and the proof in civil law.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
The course is given at the rate of one 3-hour ex cathedra session every week of the first quadrimester.
It could also, depending on the circumstances, be given at a distance.
The course is supported by 15 hours of tutoring.
Assessment methods and criteria :
The assessment takes place by means of a written examination. The questions asked focus on understanding the legal mechanisms and their usefulness, rather than on memorising the details of the material.
The examination, depending on the circumstances, can take two forms.
In "face-to-face" mode. Conducted over two hours, the examination consists of four definition questions, two "define and compare" questions and three open-ended questions from which the student chooses two.
In "distanced" mode. Conducted in one hour, the exam consists of one "define and compare" question and one open-ended question.
Students can bring their own code or a printout of legal texts relating to the topics covered in the course. Minimal annotations may be added to the texts (over- or underlining, bookmarks, table of contents), excluding any repetition of material and commentary.
