| If law studies were to look like the construction of a building, the lecture of Sources and Principles of Law would certainly be its essential foundations. In other words, students will build their academic course in the Law faculty based on those solid achievements. The lecture of Sources and Principles of Law allows students to familiarise themselves with the legal material and the legal instruments, i.e. the sources of law, the principles of law and the concepts of law. This lecture cannot equate to the mere presentation of the several law branches, side by side. It rather aims to offer a transversal approach in order for the students to grasp, on a global scale, what issues are at stake. During the lecture, law will be presented and analysed as a rule as an order, as a system, as an arborescence of branches, as a malleable element in constant evolution and reflexion. At the end of this lecture, the students will inter alia acquire legal reflexes, will develop legal language, will master and understand the fundamental concepts of the law. |
