Learning unit contents
Competitions or international meetings
The test consists of participation in an international moot court or an international event bringing the student to demonstrate orally and/or in writing of its legal powers.
Interdisciplinary casus test
This course relates to the multidisciplinary examination of cases. The cases drawn from practice involve the students' legal reasoning skills and their overall legal knowledge covering several fields. Rather than showing the extent of their knowledge, students are expected to demonstrate their ability to reason and their aptitude for detecting and presenting reflections and issues of law and fact relevant to solving the case, in a coherent, structured and complete manner. The precision of the reflections expected from the students depends on the information and documents given to the students in support of the case.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Competitions or international meetings
The student learns to mobilize their knowledge and legal skills in a situation of public assistance, usually inspired by practical casus.
Interdisciplinary casus test
The course aims to initiate students, as future legal professionals, in an interdisciplinary reflection, by placing the emphasis on practice. This involves encouraging them to simultaneously implement several rules from various branches of the law, and helping them to acquire the reflexes required to bring the relevant issues to the fore.
