| Since the course also has a linguistic vocation, the oral lessons are amply structured and written up on the board, so that students can compile their own notes while exercising their knowledge of the language. The treaty in French by Professor G. de Leval on the "Elements of civil procedure" is the work of reference. A syllabus entitled "Belgisches Zivilprozessrecht. Sonderfragen" also exists. |
