Learning outcomes
The course represents the core subject of the second pillar of the study programme focused on the development and strengthening of the student's knowledge in the specialization Private Law. The essence of the course is to enhance the student's theoretical knowledge in this specialization and to develop the student's ability to correctly analyze a legal case, to determine the legal norms that apply to the case, and 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. Therefore, both semesters of Philosophical and Methodological Foundations of Law and both semesters of Scientific and Pedagogical Propaedeutics are prerequisites for the course. The essence of the course is the student's participation in professional seminars in which students are given an assignment on a complex private law case. They must solve this case through self-study according to the requirements of the seminar lecturer and then present their solution at the seminar not only to this lecturer but also to other students of the study programme in such a way as to stand up to the subsequent scholarly discussion that their solution triggers. 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 seminar is designed as a four-semester course, with emphasis on selected institutes of private law in each semester. The second semester focuses primarily on in rem law and family law, but given that the students are graduates of a Master's degree programme, knowledge of the entire private law field is assumed and emphasis is placed on all contexts of the problem addressed, including procedural contexts.
Students who have completed this course will gain the knowledge necessary to understand the features of law.
