Learning outcomes

In the course General Administrative Law 1, students are expected to understand the basic concepts, institutions, and principles of public administration, with an emphasis on promoting sustainability and achieving specific sustainable development goals (SDGs). Public administration in the Czech Republic fulfills a number of public interests (protection of health, cultural heritage, the environment, transport services, etc.), provides public services to citizens, and in many cases also ensures the realization of individual rights and freedoms (the right to education, the right to health and social security, employment, and others). These tasks are performed by both state administration bodies (administrative authorities) and local government bodies in the form of a range of diverse activities such as legislation, administrative acts, certificates, opinions, statements, registration or record-keeping tasks, as well as measures of a general nature or public law contracts. This course focuses primarily on the substantive legal aspects of the organization and activities of public administration. In other words, it deals with which authorities and in what form they should fulfill the above-mentioned objectives, while taking into account the concept of sustainable development.
1. Navigate the public administration system, distinguish between state administration and local government, apply the principles of public administration, contributing to the fulfillment of SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities and SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. 2. Participate in the exercise of state administration or local government at the central, regional (county), or local (municipal) level, reflecting the principles of sustainability, contributing to SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities and SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. 3. Prepare legal acts of an abstract and concrete nature and legal strategies supporting sustainable goals in accordance with legal and ethical standards, contributing to SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. 4. Analyze and interpret specialized legal texts related to the topic, including the case law of Czech and European courts, formulate and present (orally and in writing) legal arguments and counterarguments, adapt to changes in public administration legislation, with reference to SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. 5. Cooperate in the exercise of public administration with public authorities, the private sector and civil society, with reference to SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals. 6. Be familiar with the public service system, including the rights and obligations of public employees, with reference to SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth and SDG 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions.
