Interested students are asked to send us a short letter of motivation (3-4 sentences) in addition to the registration via u:find, stating why the seminar interests you, possibly also whether certain topics are of particular interest to you (a list of topics will be announced in the first lesson), and also whether you have already taken the MP Business Law or the FÜM2. We emphasise that these two exams are NOT a prerequisite for participation in the seminar; your answer is only intended to make it easier for us to assign a suitable paper topic later on.
