Learning unit contents
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 the comments and the issues of law and fact relevant to solving the case, in a coherent, structured and complete manner.
The precision of the comments 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
The course aims to initiate students, as future legal professionals, in multidisciplinary 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.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
This is a final-year course, which means students should be well versed in the subjects taught during the bachelor's degree. Students must have taken the following courses: Obligation and contract law; Extra-contractual responsibility; Economic law; Property law and notions of intellectual property; Administrative law and contentious business principles; Family law; Civil partnership law; Social law; Special contracts; Criminal procedure.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Each lesson is divided into two parts.
Firstly, a practical case is presented either as a case study or as a file. Students are asked to prepare the case for each session. A joint summary enables students to structure the main points discussed during the course and the questions that should be raised.
Next, a legal practitioner (deputy public prosecutor, lawyer, curator, estate administrator, notary, bailiff) uses real cases to present his or her multidisciplinary practice.
