Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar will be held – with the exception of the preliminary meeting in March – as a block seminar in June.The seminar will be focused on national, European, as well as international Supreme Court rulings (VfGH, VwGH, EuGH, EGMR, US Supreme Court…) concerning technological and social innovations. In the preliminary meeting, the court rulings are selected together and then roles are assigned in preparation for the blocked units: for each court ruling, one person presents the facts, the legal situation and the legal question(s); one person prepares arguments for and one person against the court’s decision. Each case must be read by everyone, as those who do not take on a role will act as voting judges in the block units.
