Fundamentals of law 2200-8P004

A course in the basics of law should allow students to master basic legal terminology, both in the field of legal theory and individual dogmatic sciences. Analyzing the texts of normative acts, the student learns their systematics and is able to formulate legal norms on the basis of legal provisions, as well as recognizes individual types of regulations. He understands the difference between natural language and legal and legal language.
The student is also able to explain what are the main decision-making processes in the state (creation and application of the law), as well as what conditions should be met for the law to apply.
The student should also be able to explain in a basic way what the interpretation of the law is and with what directives it is made.
From the perspective of the learning outcomes set by the National Qualifications Framework, it should be emphasized that a lecture on the basics of law should:
a) serve the transfer of elementary knowledge of the basic concepts of legal discourse, elementary theoretical concepts and legal institutions;
b) educate practical skills at the most basic level, including the ability to analyze normative acts
c) develop students' social competences, such as the ability to formulate their own position on the issues of the basics of legal science and legal culture, reconstruct arguments in disputes in this field, and build own arguments.

The course ends with a written exam checking the theoretical knowledge and skills in analyzing the texts of normative acts.
