| 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 - 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-Lex, 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 4 | 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 | Law of the European Union | RGBEE50110 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This course focuses on the substantive law of the European Union, with particular emphasis on the fundamental freedoms of the EU internal market, fundamental rights, EU citizenship, EU competition law and the external relations of the EU. Students are expected to be familiar with the basic principles of EU constitutional and institutional law, as covered by the first-year course Introduction to International and European Law. The course also provides an introduction to the enforcement of EU substantive law both at EU-level and national level, and the basic principles of judicial protection. These topics will be discussed in greater detail in the third-year LLB course EU Law of Judicial Protection. The two weekly lectures discuss the general theory and doctrine of the topics covered by this course. The weekly workgroups focus on the practical application and analysis of these topics. Particular attention will be given to the ability to apply EU substantive law in favour of one particular side of a dispute, which is the core activity of lawyers, instead of trying to find “the one right answer”. Active participation in the workgroups is mandatory. The assessment is based on a written exam. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 6 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 7 | Research Seminar | RGBIR50110 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In this course students will to get acquainted with legal research methods and train their research skills. This is mainly done on the basis of writing and discussing research papers on topics related to International and European Law (and Technology law in the context of that specific track). Most papers will be written individually, but some will be done in small groups. The research topics are close to ongoing research done by the professors and lecturers involved who will not only introduce the topics, but will also discuss the final papers and provide feedback. Literature will be provided during the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 8 | The Contemporary Value(s) of Int. Law | RGBIR50305 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Over time international relations scholars have developed different theories to explain the structure and functioning of international relations (IR) and international politics, including by means of different binding and non-binding instruments of international law. Each IR theory stresses distinct elements and the centrality of different underlying values to elucidate the motivation of various international actors in the approaches they take, the choices they make and the policy solutions they find. For students and practitioners of international law a thorough understanding of the values underlying these diverse IR theories is instrumental to grasping, in a structured manner, the different visions about the context in which their primary field of focus functions, and how international law interacts with and may influence international politics. In particular, different regulatory and value-based starting points and choices in varying substantive areas of international law can often be traced back to the dominance of one or more IR theories in the international legal sub-field in question. Moreover, developments, contradictions and problems in specific fields of international law are easier understood and foreseeable when it is acknowledged that they result from changes in the (most) dominant underlying IR theory, or tensions between different IR theories that underlie policy choices in parallel. Finally, international law itself, with its own logic, structure and principles as a sub-discipline of the general discipline of law, may at times determine or deter certain developments in international politics and IR. Trained sensitivity to all of these various forms of interaction between international law and its context helps lawyers to understand better the structuring and managing role that their own discipline plays, or can play – and also its inherent limits. This course aims to provide such training and equip students with said sensitivity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
