Teaching methods
The teaching is a lecture.
Although the lecture is based on the Manuel de droit de l’entreprise (Anthemis, 2024), the structure adopted in class is not necessarily identical.
The lecture is completed by tutorials taught in small groups and supervised by a probationary lecturer. He will share practical vision and experiences in certain subjects (mainly corporate law and european competition law) and will devote the last practical session to preparation for the written exam.

Evaluation methods
I. Material subject to evaluation
Unless otherwise specified by the professor, the assessment will focus on:
- the subject matter covered during the lectures
- the documents analysed in class
Naturally the assessment covers the subject matter taught during the academic year in which the examination takes place.
It is important to draw the students' attention to the difficulty and level of requirement of the course. The course material is abundant and requires a "vertical" as well as "transverse" and reflective study. This difficulty can be overcome by means of attendance to lectures, regular study of the course material and, if necessary, addressing the teachers if certain points remain unclear.
II. Assessment methods
An written examination is organized in june and august.
It can include questions of knowledge, reflection, application of theoretical principles to concrete situations and a commentary on case law which has been analysed -or not- during a lecture .
The main evaluation criteria are:
1) the adequacy of the answer in regards to the question as it is formulated;
2) the understanding and accurate formulation of the applicable rules of law;
3) the rigor, clarity and precision in the formulation and explanation of the answers;
4) the ability to understand in a reflective and critical manner the legal issues that are submitted.
III. Authorised documents and references
During the entire examination, the students may have at their disposal:
- their code(s)
Students are however not allowed to bring codes that include summaries of jurisprudence.
- additional legislation and regulations relating to the studied subject matter, including UE Communications on competition law;
- the decisions of jurisprudence, providing, however, that the students are in possession of the complete/original versions (excluding the excerpts and summaries of jurisprudence).
The authorised documents in accordance with the rules mentioned above, may:
• be underlined or highlighted (fluorescent)
• include a reference to a law or regulation and/or to a decision of jurisprudence (in this case, only the seized court and the decision date are authorised, nothing more)
• Mention a keyword or group of keywords used for classification purposes, to facilitate the search of the relevant legal or statutory provisions (such as the code title or title of a special law studied during the course).
No reference in terms of content material or structure of the course is allowed.
Any non-compliance with the instructions mentioned here above will be brought to the attention of the President of the Jury. It is the responsibility of each student to personally ensure compliance with these instructions.
IV. Students entitled to exemptions
Are only taken into account the exemptions officially recognised by the Faculty (by the CEVA Commission that reports to the juries): no unofficial exemption will therefore be given by the professors whatever the circumstances or marks previously obtained by the student.
