Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The practical exercise is designed to enhance the understanding and deepen the knowledge gained in the lecture (VO) European and Global Legal History by treating and discussing legal sources. The main goal is to help the participants to prepare for the final exam.
In accordance with the lecture, the practical exercise will cover a vast area of topics, epochs and problems: from the very beginning of law and society in ancient tims over the Middle Ages to early modern and contemporary history. It includes lectures about enlightenment and absolutism; constitutionalization, authoritarianism and totalitarianism in the 19th and 20th century – as well as the attempts to prosecute crimes through international criminal law. It aims at a comparative and critical perspective on the history of law.

Assessment and permitted materials

At the end of each lesson we will hand out the sources we will deal with in the next unit. We kindley ask all students to prepare and actively participate in class. There will be two written exams taking place: one in November and one in Januray.
