Oral examination. The professor reserves the possibility to replace the oral exam by a written exam depending on the number of students. The assessment may also be linked to the submission of a written assignment.
Students may use the codes, a collection of legal texts and a collection of decisions without annotation or personal comment, except for article to article references. Blank Post-it notes are allowed. The use of the fluorescent marker or underlining is permitted.
Among the main evaluation criteria are the student's ability to develop legal reasoning, articulating the arguments supporting it logically, rigorously and coherently.
