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 third semester focuses primarily on: - Digital transformation of the labour market, - the development of digital work platforms, the "gig" or custom economy, - algorithmic management of human labour, - threats and potential of artificial intelligence in employment relations. Given the fact that the programme involves 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. 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.
Deepening of the student's theoretical knowledge in selected areas of private law whose legal regulation is influenced by the development of digital technologies. Development of the student's ability to analyse legal cases correctly, to identify the legal norms that apply to a given case, and also the ability to apply the chosen legal norms correctly. The student should also be able to present their solution to a legal case in a scholarly manner.
