Private International Law

This course will begin with a general presentation on concepts of Private International Law. It will first explain both the history and sources of this peculiar branch of law, and then present its methods, as well as its role and importance in today’s fast evolving European market. Afterwards it will focus on conflict of laws theory, which aims to determine how courts determine what national laws are applicable to international disputes. All mechanisms involved in the resolution of such matters will be defined before examining various detailed rules of Private International Law related to specific areas such as family law, contracts and torts. The European Union’s action in this field will be particularly stressed. In conclusion, the course will give an overview of the European Regulations on Conflicts of Jurisdiction, as this knowledge is vital to anybody intending to understand the ins and outs of private international law in Europe.

The European Union Legal System

European Union is a complex subject of studies mainly because of its strong dynamic nature. Since the 1957 Treaty of Rome establishing the European Economic Community (EEC), different reform treaties have been contributing to shaping legal and constitutional structure of the European Union and to develop its substantive aims and policies. After a brief presentation of the European construction the course seeks to present European Union Law, as it is stated in the Lisbon Treaty signed in 2007 and entered into force December the 1st 2009, considering its institutional aspects (not considering its substantive aspects which are developed in another course, “European Business Law”): – Questioning about the legal identity of EU which includes the basic principles of the EU legal order: Competences / Flexibility / Fundamental Human Rights – The institutional EU framework – The legislative procedures – The Effect of EU Law: direct effect – The relationship between EU Law and national law: supremacy – The jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice The methodology of the course will be based on a lecture ; interactive courses (guidelines questions to make the students think about the central issues of a topic) ; student group work including an oral presentation. The evaluation will be based on an oral presentation and a written exam at the end of the course.

Advanced aspects of operating systems

Operating systems are the foundation of computer systems, often complemented with middleware systems to help with more domain-specific features. Operating systems wrap the underlying hardware platforms into an effective software platform, creating an illusion, hidding hardware details away and offering instead high-value services. In the end, operating systems create an effective virtual world for software developers and end users alike. As such, operating systems are virtual machines. Virtual platforms come in many shapes and sizes, creating virtual platforms with different specifics, for different application domains. Some virtual platforms are real-time operating systems for mission-critical systems such as avionics or aerospace systems. Others are sheer veneers above very specific hardware like in Game consoles or Aduino-like embedded systems for the Do-It-Yourself communities. Others are combining operating system kernels with high-level languages, such as the Google Android platform that combines the Linux kernel and the Java virtual machine. Others are for world-scale cloud infrastructures, often associating modified Linux and hypervisors, along with advanced distributed services such as shared storage or shared FPGA accelerators. Across this massive domain, there are only few key enabling technologies, technologies that we will help you learn and master in this course. The course starts with understanding some of the key evolutions of current hardware platforms; platforms facing the challenge to deliver increasing performance while keeping the energy consumption under control. The course then discusses what is an operating system kernels and what are the architectural options that have been tried so far, such as discussing monolithic kernels, micro-kernels, and hypervisors. We will discuss these approach, debating their original design goals and comparing them with the characteristics of their implementations. Then the course moves onto the key enabling technologies for the Cloud infrastructures. These technologies are the enablers of popular online services such as search engines, social networks, or streaming services. They are also the enablers of Big Data applications. All these complex systems share similar requirements such as requiring large amount of computing resources and having stringent constraints in terms of reliability, availability and performance. To fulfill such requirements, these complex systems are implemented above Cloud platforms that exploit large numbers of servers hosted in a data center, forming so-called “rack-scale” or even “warehouse-scale” platforms. These platforms are at the heart of companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter or Amazon. Everyday, these companies face the challenge of exploiting data center resources efficiently and reliably through well-designed software infrastructures. While a few challenges are specific to the massive size of the these giants, most of the design principles they rely on are also of interest for smaller scale systems. Through this course, you will learn about these design principles and get a chance to understand the underlying theoretical and practical challenges, including the study of scalability, fault tolerance, and data consistency—all in the context of virtualized hardware platforms.

Advanced imaging

In this course, we will first focus on linear methods for image denoising. In this regard, we will investigate some properties of the heat equation and of the Wiener filter. We will then introduce nonlinear partial equations such as the PeronaMalick model for noise removal, and some other similar models. A last part of the course will be devoted to edge detection for which we will consider the Canny approach and, more precisely, we will deal in details with active contours and level sets methods.

Introduction – Common Law

The course will provide an introduction to common law legal systems. It will compare the common law and civil (continental) law legal systems. The course will then explore the development of the common law (in England and elsewhere) and the defining characteristics shared by common law legal systems around the world (e.g., use of jurisprudence, binding precedent, use of statutory laws, etc.). Finally, the course will cover both the English and U.S. common law based legal systems, including their sources of law, judicial organizations, contract lax, torts, and corporate/company law.

A historical introduction to French Law

This course aims at introducing students to French legal culture through the study of French law’s main historical stages. It starts with a depiction of the Frankish kingdom’s legal diversity (Roman law coexisting with Barbarian laws). Then are presented the confrontation of local customs and “learned laws” (roman law and canon law) in medieval France, the emergence of a unified national law in the early modern period, the influence of the French Revolution, whose ambitious plans were eventually carried out by Bonaparte’s dictatorship through the Napoleonic codification. The course then focuses on the evolutions French law underwent during the 19th and 20th centuries: the progressive adaptation of public law to the republican regime and of private law to social changes. Through this historical introduction, students will discover landmarks texts of French legal history, such as the Salic Law, the ordinance of Villers-Cotterêts, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen, the Code Napoléon, etc. Classes will consist of lecture presentations, with questions and discussions by students strongly encouraged. During each class, a group of students will make a presentation on a topic chosen from a list given by the teacher during the first class. Assessment will be based on an oral presentation made in class (50 %) and a final oral examination on a subject drawn by lot (50 %).

Criminal Litigation

This course is dedicated to the presentation of the French characteristics of the body of law that relates to crime and punishment. After a brief presentation of the evolution of criminal law from a historical perspective, the course aims at introducing the principles of criminal law, the specificity of the classification of offenses and its range of penalties in France. It will insist upon the theories of punishment by establishing a comparison with Common Law jurisdictions. A study of the balance between the legal means to maintain public order and the rights of the defence will then be conducted through a presentation of the specificity of the French criminal procedure. An active participation of the students is required since the notions will be presented through various role plays including enactment of excerpts of mock trial, embodiment of famous criminal lawyers, debates over restorative justice and performance of cases in order to illustrate substantive law. Pedagogic supports: Films, TV series and documentary extracts, interviews with judges, translations of criminal code, power point presentations. Skills assessments: oral (analysis of study case) and written (principles of French criminal law and criminal procedure).
