Learning outcomes
|
Introductory seminars (i.e. those held before release of compromise) deal with broader theoretical preparation. Actual questions contained in the case can not be separated from subject matter of the whole discipline. Emphasis is therefore put on terminology, introduction to the system of work with international legal materials, introduction to basic principles applicable in the area and methodology of successful preparation of written memorials. Central part of the course starts with publication of compromise for actual year. All aspects of the case are analyzed in details. This part is concluded by submission of written memorials. The course then continues with preparation on oral presentation. Focus is given on the raising of standard of oral argumentation. Participation in domestic and foreign pre-moot rounds shall be ensured with participation of professionals in the area. The course is ended by participation at oral round of the moot court competition.
Students adopt basic methods of work with legal texts and basics of legal argumentation. In the complex case, students delimit specific issues, find out arguments in favour and deal with arguments of opposing party. Not least, students acquire work with foreign-language legal text and improve their presentation skills.
