Civil Law (Basics) WP-AD-1-PPC2-ćw
The practical classes cover topics in the general part of civil law, together with selected elements of property law and the general part of the law of obligations. The aim of the classes is to develop students’ ability to apply the basic institutions of civil law in practice and to develop their skills in analysing and solving legal problems.
The topics covered include, in particular, the principles and characteristics of the civil law method of regulation, the fundamental principles of civil law and their impact on the practical application of law, sources of law, the concept and nature of a civil-law relationship, subjective rights and legal entitlements, categories of parties to civil-law relationships, the subject matter of civil-law relationships, the concept and classification of legal events, with particular emphasis on legal acts, the nature and types of rights in rem, as well as the basic principles of the law of obligations.
During the classes, students analyse provisions of civil law, factual scenarios and selected sources of legal information, including case law. They search for and use information necessary to solve legal problems and work on case studies covering the topics discussed. The classes also involve preparing written solutions to case studies and presenting and justifying the proposed solutions orally, using appropriate legal terminology. Individual and group work is also employed to develop students’ argumentation skills, ability to cooperate and capacity for independent legal problem-solving.
