Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course sets out to disrupt students’ dogmatic conception of (private) law. Students will be introduced to important classic and new interdisciplinary Anglo-American scholarship on private law. Students will be able to familiarize themselves with the two most important interdisciplinary approaches for theoretical inquiry into private law: law & philosophy and law & economics. Accordingly (but not necessarily) the course will shift between efficiency-oriented, and morality-oriented texts.
The goal and purpose of the course is to provide students with the opportunity to read and engage with private law theory outside of the boundaries of Dogmatik (formalism).

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will be required to read one text before every unit. Students will email one question regarding the text before 6 p.m. on Sundays before class. Two times per semester students will write short response papers (3 – 4 pages), which are due on Saturdays before class.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Grades will be based upon participation and the quality of the response papers.

Prüfungsstoff

Selected papers on law and philosophy, law and economics and law and social sciences with a connection to the core building blocks of private law: contracts, property and tort; selected papers on consumer law, competition law or data protection law.
