Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this seminar is to facilitate a deeper understanding of some special areas of public international law. In addition, the application of legal research methods will be practiced. In several rounds of feedback, the seminar papers will continuously be improved.

At the first meeting on 11 March we will discuss the topics and the procedure of the seminar. Concrete topics will be proposed and allocated. Participants will write seminar papers which analyse and discuss the respective topics in an academc manner. On 12 and 15 June, we will have full day meetings at which the seminar papers will be presented and discussed. Every participant will get detailed oral and written feedback.
