| 1 | Administrative Law and Market Regulation | RGBBE50210 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This new course offers students an introduction to administrative law and market regulation. It describes the evolution of administrative law in a number of countries and explains key concepts of administrative law (public body, administrative act/action, standing, judicial review of administrative decisions, deference, public contract). Moreover, this course reflects upon the shift from a traditional national model of public powers to a global or European model of intertwined public-private regulatory forces. In particular, the course introduces students to market regulation and explains how it affects the public/private divide and uses public and private law instruments and enforcement mechanisms to achieve its policy goals. Being comparative in essence, the course does not only discuss the developments within the European Union but also beyond. It also devotes attention to novel and more global phenomena such as the emergence of global administrative law and global private powers that exist parallel to traditional regulatory actors. Furthermore, the course combines the discussion of general and sector-specific aspects of the subject matter. This will allow students to apply the concepts learned in more general lectures to particular heavily regulated areas, such as consumer law and financial law and thus further develop their general knowledge of administrative law and market regulation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 3 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 5 | Markets and Regulation | RGBER10005 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The central question of this course is: how to balance efficiency with the rule of law in the regulation of markets in an international and European context? The interactions between states as well as the cross-border market transactions between companies and individuals are regulated by means of international and European law. Examples will be discussed of laws and regulations that are efficient and those that are not. The examples will be international and comparative, based on economic theory and empirical research, ranging from Europe to Africa, the Americas, Asia and Australia. Where politicians can help or hamper efficiency by changing the ‘rules of the game’, lawyers can propose legal changes and interpret the existing rules in such a way that efficiency is improved. Students will actively discuss whether and how lawyers should balance efficiency with the rule of law in international and European market regulations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The three main issues of private international law: jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are the key subject matters that will be dealt with during this class. The emphasis of the class will lie on the first two subject matters. The issues of jurisdiction and applicable law will be addressed for general contractual obligations, consumer contracts, employment contracts, torts and the liability of directors. In addition, the issue of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments throughout the EU is addressed. In discussing these subject matters an EU approach will be adopted. The class will provide a general introduction into the theoretical framework of the EU rules on private international law. Students will acquire knowledge of the basis for and theories on the EU conflict of laws, enabling them to understand key concepts of private international law when doing business in the EU. They will learn to identify the main private international law problems that arise in cross-border (legal) situations and learn to solve these problems on the basis of European rules on private international law. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
