The pedagogical approach consists of building knowledge by starting with elements already known by the students. This first approach is then completed and structured in order to master, in the long run, the whole theme and its fundamental elements with the required legal rigour. A large part of the course is therefore devoted to exchanges with students, and their active participation is crucial. The legal issues addressed are also enlightened by "field" elements and concrete cases drawn from real files. Particular attention is given to students' questions related to the practical aspects of the topics covered. Finally, various topics covered in this course allow students to make links with current events and to analyse them with a critical eye. Two practical sessions are devoted to judicial law: these include examining aspects of the subject that the students have prepared using the course materials and video clips and solving case studies.
Evaluations
The examination is only oral, both in the first and second session. The assessment is closed book, the student can only bring the Judicial Code, any other legal provisions and the case law that was made available to him/her at the beginning of the academic year ("florilège de jurisprudence", also available on Webcampus); these documents may not contain any There is no "loose leaf" or annotation. Each student draws a card with four questions and has a minimum of 20 minutes preparation time before being questioned. These four questions include: • a case study (presented as a situation that allows him/her to mobilise his/her theoretical knowledge in a practical context); • a 'true or false' section comprising two statements, each answer to be duly substantiated; • a question on the definition and understanding of a concept (= "what do you know about...?") involving giving the meaning of a concept, indicating the legal or jurisprudential bases, illustrating with an example, contextualising (on what occasion did we talk about this concept?),... • a reflection/comment/comprehension question (which may be more cross-cutting in nature, involving a comparison, a commentary, etc.). => explain the meaning of the sentence and/or explain the regime of the standard concerned, contextualise (on what occasion did we talk about this article/this sentence?), illustrate with an example, compare concepts, etc.
