Learning unit contents
The Belgian non-criminal legal system and the major instrument in civil litigation regulations, i.e. the judgement, are both studied in German in this 15-hour course, divided into two- to three-hour units, from a linguistic point of view and in terms of fundamental teaching.
The lessons are based on relevant articles from the Judicial Code, and on key judgements made by the Court of Cassation in Belgium, and closely follow the teachings of the Messrs Fettweis and Leval.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To provide law students with essential knowledge for their know-how as future lawyers, relating to the settlement of conflicts in civil law through the judicial method, and with the appropriate German technical vocabulary used in Belgium.

Recommended or required readings
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.
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
The assessment is divided into two parts. Firstly, students are assessed on their regular intellectual commitment in class. Secondly, this desire to progress is complemented by an individual discussion concerning the themes studied in class.
