Offer 1 with catalog number 1016032AEW for working students in the 2nd semester at a (A) Bachelor - preliminary level.
A first topic that is dealt with is the law and its sources: what are the characteristics of the law and legal rules, which subdivisions can be made, what is the hierarchy of norms of substantive law and what does it look like.
Then an introduction is given to the main branches of (Belgian) law, whereby these branches of law are further explained and some basic principles and rules of the main branches are explained, theoretically and practically ("law on action"). For example, in the case of constitutional law, in addition to the general characteristics of the Belgian state and an overview of the various institutions, their bodies and their functions, the constitutional rights and freedoms, the organisation of the judiciary, the administrative courts, etc. are also explained and clarified.
Finally, the international and European institutions and their competences are discussed.
The course is illustrated with examples from legal practice, drawing in particular on the holder's practical experience as a magistrate and/or actual cases.

If an on-campus class takes place and could not be recorded (human error, technical defect, unavailability of compatible devices, etc.), the class will be deemed to have been given: an oncampus class always takes precedence.
Lesson recordings are limited to the recorded lesson itself and do not provide additional information etc.
