1) What is the course about?
In
30 hours, the course will introduce students to the English law of
obligations, with a strong focus on contract law (formation, content and
effect of the contract). It will often rely on a comparison with the
French law of obligations.
2) What is the purpose of the course?
At the end of the semester, students following
this course should be able to master the basic notions of the English
law of obligations (knowledge, understanding and use), and therefore to
develop an understanding of a distinct way of legal thinking through
regular comparisons with French law.
2) How is the course organized?
The course is divided in 10 sessions. Short breaks are planned, depending on students participation and dynamism.
Though the
course is intended as a lecture, students are welcomed to ask questions.
They may also be asked questions to help memorize and understand the
course.
As this
introductory note and the title of the course say, the course is taught
in English. A good command of this language is therefore required. Explanations in French may sometimes be provided but will not replace the course.
3) Who may attend the course?
The course is included
in semester 5 of third year law students, who follows either public law,
private law or double-degree English and Law curriculums. Foreign students are welcome.
