Learning outcomes
The legal skills course is taught in English and is conceived as a READING GROUP. Students are asked to read a legal piece in English for every lecture. One of them prepares handouts and questions for the reading and moderates the lecture. The course enhances important legal skills - the ability to read effectively, to understand correctly information received and analyse a legal text.
Students will acquire the ability to read legal texts effectively and understand them correctly. They will further deepen their ability to analyse a legal text, to abstract key information and to approach them critically.
