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).

History of Human Rights

This course provides students with basic knowledge about the history of rights protection. It focuses on the following topics: the invention of the concept of “natural rights” in the 17th century; the way this concept was used to legitimize political revolutions in England, North American British colonies and France; rights protection in modern constitutions (and the development of different national traditions); the crisis of “domestic rights”; the socialist conception of rights protection; the genesis of international human rights law and of regional human rights systems. Classes will consist of lecture presentations, with questions and discussions by students strongly encouraged. During each class, a group of students will make an oral 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 %).

Intellecutal Property Law

The purpose of this unit is to make the students acquire the basic concepts in intellectual property law and the fundamental principles that govern this branch of law. IP Law is generally divided into two main fields: Literary and Artistic Property Law and Industrial Property Law. Following the introduction of the sources of IP Law, the main rights in both domains will be analyzed, such as authors’ rights, patents and trademarks, industrial designs, IT creations. More specifically, the conditions for obtaining these rights and the prerogatives that the holders are invested will be studied. Case studies will be discussed during the lecture for an active participation of the students. The first part of the evaluation (%70) will be based on a final written examination. The second part (%30) will be assessed according to the results of the short examination which will be held during the semester, the oral participation in the class and if chosen by the student, homework prepared on the selected topic.

International Contract Law

The lecture deals with the relevant international conventions and regulations which apply to international contracts. In particular the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG – also called: Vienna Convention) which is in force in more than 83 states worldwide will be discussed in detail. It will be analysed in which cases the United Nations Convention applies and which options the parties of a contract have to choose the law for their contract. The students will get to know the requirements that are necessary for a valid contract. Furthermore, the lecture describes the rights and obligations of the seller and the buyer each to the other in international sale contracts as well as the consequences that arise if the seller or buyer does not properly carry out his or her contractual obligations. In order to show the relevance of these legal aspects for the practice, typical clauses of international contracts will be discussed.

International Law and International Relations

This course aims at giving the students a wide overview about international relations. We will then analyse both theories and concrete topics as the UN, foreign policy, war or environment for instance. The course is based on the interaction between the professor and the students. Therefore, each student will have to present exposés during the semester and is highly encouraged to participate regularly in the debate following the exposes. Last but not least, each student will participate in a simulation exercise taking place during the last sequence of the course. Each student will represent a member of the UN security council and work on his role during the semester. The roles will be chosen not later than the second sequence. The topic will be given during the first sequence. The aim is for the students to acquire both knowledge in international relations and international law and oral abilities to present their ideas.
