Learning outcomes
Course objectives: The course represents a series of core courses of the compulsory elective module of the study programme aimed at developing and deepening the student's knowledge in the field of Private Law and Digital Technologies, which is related to the general compulsory course Private Law Aspects of Digital Technologies. The professional seminar is designed as a four-semester course, in each semester emphasis is placed on selected institutes of private law, in which students will be presented with current issues in individual areas of private law (in particular personality law, law of obligations and torts, consumer protection law, labour law, copyright and civil procedural law), which may be affected by the rapid development and evolution of digital technologies in relation to existing or upcoming legal regulation and case law. The fourth semester focuses primarily on: - the area of digitisation of the courts, - digitisation of civil court proceedings (in the procedural aspect), - Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). Given the fact that the students are graduates of a Master's degree programme, knowledge of the whole range of private law issues is assumed and emphasis is placed on all contexts of the problem addressed, including procedural contexts. In the seminar, students are given an assignment of a complex private law case, which they have to solve through self-study according to the requirements of the seminar lecturer and then present their solution at the seminar not only to the lecturer but also to other students of the study programme in order to stand up to the subsequent scientific discussion that their solution will provoke. When presenting the solution, emphasis is placed on the presentation of the chosen methodological approaches as well as the literature and case law used by the student in the solution. The essence of the course is to deepen the student's theoretical knowledge in selected areas of private law whose legal regulation is influenced by the development of digital technologies; the aim is to develop the student's ability to correctly analyse legal cases, to identify the legal norms that apply to a given case, as well as the ability to correctly apply the chosen legal norms. The student must also be able to present his/her solution to a legal case in a scientific manner.
