This course aims - to provide you with a general knowledge of the legal phenomenon, through your command of the appropriate terminology and your understanding of certain fundamental legal concepts; - you knew the basics of some of the more common branches of law; - to enable you to carry out (simple) legal research, i.e. to handle your collection of legal texts and legal databases effectively, to base your arguments on the relevant legal basis(s). The course is built on the idea that a basic understanding of law is necessary for every citizen, especially for those who intend to undertake university studies. Indeed, law is both a human science with close links to various other disciplines, including those you have chosen to study as your main academic subject, but also a mode of social regulation that is ubiquitous in the political arena and in our private lives.
