European Private International Law 2200-BS043S

The assumption of the module is to provide students with knowledge about the basics of international legal transactions in civil matters within the European Union. It extends the knowledge of future lawyers about private international law (i.e. international contract law, non-contractual obligations, international bankruptcy, international family and succession law).

The graduate of the block will deeply understand the processes governing international civil law transactions in the European Union. It will be able to put into practice the mechanisms of international cooperation in civil matters, thanks to which it will become more competitive on the labor market (valuable acquisition for lawyers 'legal advisers' offices, notary offices and for civil, family and economic departments of common courts). Graduates with scientific predispositions will be able to participate in international scientific networks in the future and create valuable research programs on a pan-European scale.
