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.
