This course, will therefore be presented from a double angle: - On one hand, to allow the student to learn and assimilate the rules of positive Belgian law in the principal subjects of law of persons and family law; - On the other hand, to initiate the student to the understanding of the main issues by the evolutions which affect the status of the individual human being as well as the family and emotional relationships. |

Teaching methods
As a basic course in the third year of Bachelor, the law of persons and family law course will be taught primarily as a lecture, that is to say, a presentation of the essential and minimal knowledge of the discipline taught by teachers both in oral sessions and through "syllabi" made available to the students.
Lecture notes are available to students, as well as PowerPoint slides. The latter complement the former.
It must be emphasized that the examination material is everything that is contained in the written notes submitted by the professors and not just what would have been "said" in class. Students are therefore asked to study the notes provided by the professors in Moodle and not just the notes they would have taken in class or notes from their peers.
This classical teaching method will be completed exercise sessions (tutorials) that will be lead by a scientific staff member.
These two complementary approaches aim to stimulate the students' personal learning skills both for the theoretical deepening of the subject matter and critical reflection, and for the understanding and concrete application of family law rules.

Evaluation methods
The knowledge and competences acquired during the lecture, through the syllabi written by the two professors of the course and also through individual work of reading and comprehension of texts made available for the students in the syllabus I, will be assessed during the exam period in a written examination composed of four questions.
During the correction of the written examination, special attention will be paid both to the students' capacity to express themselves with rigour, clarity and precision while explaining the rules of law, and to the students' capability to critically comprehend the socio-political stakes of the major issues of law of persons and family law.

The student is allowed to:
(a) underline or highlight words or phrases ;
