| 1 | Decision making in the EU | RGBPW50305 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A substantial part of national law and policy stems from legal instruments and policy measures of the European Union. This module aims to provide students with a thorough analysis of the political and administrative processes which result in these European legal acts and policies. Content: first, the historical development, nature and functioning of the EU's political and institutional system, which is fundamentally different from national political systems in a number of ways, will be discussed. The administrative and political decision making that takes place within these frameworks will be analysed with the tools of political science. The policy process can be divided into various phases, from initiation to implementation and monitoring, and for each phase a number of specific problems and characteristics will be introduced. Teaching method: the module consists of lectures and workgroup meetings. In the workgroups students will have to write a research paper and give a presentation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 2 | Economics of Int Trade & Int Finance | RGBEO50010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The international economy is characterized by countless possibilities and uncertainties. The performance of national economies is influenced by variable factors such as exchange rates, trade barriers, constraints on international investment and the level of macroeconomic stability. If a country is to make its mark in the international economy, policymakers must be aware of these factors, how they will develop in the future, and why this is so. The module Economics of International Trade and International Finance discusses the most important economic theories that enable decision-makers, legal practitioners - and individuals in general - to (a) understand the international economy, and (b) assess national policy-making and enforcement. Motives behind and implications of trade barriers and international trade policy are explained, using classical trade theory, the Heckscher-Ohlin model, and elements from contemporary theories, such as economies of scale and imperfect competition. In International Finance, starting with the national available amount of money and the balance of payments, the interdependence of national income, national product, consumption, investments, imports, and exports between countries will be explained. A particular focus of the course is on the Mundel-Fleming model. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 3 | European Law | RGBEE50010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It is envisaged that this course will include the following topics although precise content and order may vary. Following a brief introduction into the history of European integration, the emphasis of the course will be on (a) the characteristics of the European Union legal order; (b) institutional structure; (c) the definition, importance, functioning and regulation of the internal market; (d) the development of non-economic values and competences and how they affect the EU and its Member States (values, human rights, environmental principles) (d) procedural law/remedies in the European Union legal order (including direct effect, state liability and national procedural autonomy; enforcement of European Union Law against Member States; actions for judicial review; references for preliminary rulings). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 4 | Europeanisation of Public Law | RGBBE50110 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well known EU legal doctrines on ‘procedural autonomy’, ‘direct effect’, ‘consistent interpretation’, ‘ex officio application of European law’ and ‘state liability’ are used as a starting point for looking into the consequences of those doctrines in the various Member States. Attention is also given to important questions on the enforcement of European law in the national legal order, the organisation of the national judiciary and the influence of European law on fundamental principles of (public) law like a.o. legal certainty, non-discrimination and the proportionality principle. For those purposes case law is being analysed on how European law is actually being applied by the various national public law courts. These and other doctrines show how Europeanisation affects the constitutional position of these national courts. However, not only the national courts are affected by Europeanisation. Similar effects are influencing the position of the national executives and the national parliaments. To understand these effects, the European Union will be examined as a (combination of) legal order(s), using concepts such as ‘autonomy’, ‘sovereignty’, ‘representation’ and ‘efficacy’. The aim of this analysis is to enable students to give an outline of the impact the European Union has on the position of the main actors of the Member States. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 5 | Law and Legal Skills - IT for Lawyers | RGPEE510BD | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This part of the Legal Skills module introduces important online legal resource tools needed when studying European and International law. Both publicly accessible tools (such as EUR-Iex, United Nations Treaty collection etc.) and those available through the RUG Law Library portal (such as Westlaw etc.) are used. Each workgroup session is interactive with students and lecturer discussing and examining the features of the online resources being used in that session, when and where they may be used and how to cite resources accessed. A number of tasks are assigned per session to practice skills learnt and/or reinforce skills gained in previous sessions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 6 | Law and Legal Skills: the Dutch example | RGPAR510AD | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The course Law and Legal Skills: the Dutch example (LLS) provides insight into the workings of a legal system by using the Dutch system as a point of reference. The LLS program explains general issues such as the nature of law, sources of law and the separation of powers. Furthermore, the course familiarizes students with the existence and main characteristics of various areas of law in order to provide them with the basic knowledge that is expected of them in subsequent courses. Constitutional law, Administrative Law, Criminal law, International and European law and Private law will be introduced. Within these fields of law, both substantive as well as procedural law will be discussed. In addition, LLS will help students acquire the skills necessary to analyze questions of law and legal problems, such as reading legislation, analyzing case law, solving cases and searching for source materials (among other things law reports and literature). Attention will also be given to presentation skills and in giving and receiving feedback. It is imperative for students to arrive on time in the Netherlands if they have to travel from abroad. Only then can they familiarize themselves with the city, our faculty and our enrollment and e-learning systems. In the first week of this course we expect students to have the necessary literature and readers available so that you can prepare for the lecture (study the literature) and prepare for the working groups/tutorials (answer the questions for the Law part as well as the questions for the Legal Skills part). This course is generally considered as a difficult course since students have to adjust in many ways while finding out which study method suits them best. Moreover, LLS is a 10 ECTS course with only 7 weeks. It is almost impossible to catch up on the material and assignments if students should arrive late in the Netherlands since they would either be ill-prepared or miss the first week(s) all together. For this course students must pass the Law part as well as the Legal Skills part on the exam. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 7 | Public International Law | RGBIR50010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In this module the main doctrines of public international law are discussed in lectures in which positive law and its historical background forms the basis for a discussion of the contribution of international law to the resolution of international conflicts and to managing (new) international challenges of an economic, ecological or humanitarian nature. In the working groups concrete situations will be addressed and students will be expected to discuss and argue the legally relevant aspects. Topics that will be discussed include sources, subjects, jurisdiction, immunities, state responsibility, international organizations, peaceful dispute settlement, the use of force in international relations, the law of the sea, international human rights law and international environmental law. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 8 | Research sem. International law | RGBIR50005 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sessions will be organized to deal with specific topics or problems, if possible in relation to current conflicts or controversies. Students will have to write various short papers and also at least once prepare a presentation about a legal subject or question, and active participation is required in the sessions. Attendance of all sessions is compulsory. This means absence from a session is only excused in case of exceptional circumstances in the nature of actual and proven (medical) emergencies. Absence from a session that cannot be excused in the manner indicated above will result in a deduction of points from your final grade. In addition, please register carefully for participation in a particular working group, as no switches will be allowed between working groups throughout the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
