Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This introductory course is aimed to make students acquainted with the international dimension of law at an early stage of their legal studies. The relevance of that dimension is ever-increasing. States are no longer able to solve their political, economic, technical, social or other issues by themselves or solely within their state borders. Therefore knowledge of international law is required for the proper understanding of a state's domestic law.
Assessment and permitted materials
Written exam, duration of the examination: 60 minutes. The workload for the parts European Law and International Law is estimated at 30 minutes each. Permitted aids: For the European law part, treaty texts without annotations such as: Code of European Law (current: 28th edition), Code of Business and Law Study Edition (current: 8th edition), other treaty texts with annotations, e.g. Blackstone's "EU Treaties & Legislation" (current 32nd edition 2021-2022) as well as printed versions of the treaties (to be found on the EUR-Lex site http://eur-lex.europa.eu/collection/eu-law/treaties.html?locale=de) or LexPack FÜM I are permitted. For the international law part no documents (no code, no international law texts, no statutes of the United Nations) are allowed.
As of autumn 2023, the European law part of the “MP Introduction to International Law (IREWI) - European Law“ will be held and examined in English. From January 2024, the international law part will also be examined in English. With regard to the examination material and the delimitation of material, the duration of 60 minutes, the type as a presence examination and the permitted aids as well as their markings, there are no changes.
