Learning unit contents

The aim of this course for students whose project is not to become a lawyer, is the understanding of the fundamental institutional and legal mechanisms underlying the Belgian society.
The course is divided in two parts.
In the first part we will study the rudiments of the Belgian constitutional law. This part will be mainly devoted to the study of the structure of the Belgian State, to the description of the various federal institutions and their competence.
The second part will be devoted to the private law. The course will be mainly devoted to private law. It will address some fundamental rules. The legal act (definition, classification, training, implementation, etc..), The mechanism of the liability and the consideration of the proof and sureties retain our particular attention.
