Teaching methods
- Ex cathedra course. The course will be based on the professional experience of the lecturers (at the bar, in research, then at the Constitutional Court). Mainly theoretical, the lessons will also include the resolution of practical cases.
- Teaching materials available: a syllabus (entitled “Droit constitutionnel III. Les libertés publiques”) and a portfolio of appendices to be completed with class notes. The syllabus is more detailed on certain points than the lectures, and it includes bibliographical information, or invitations to the students “to go further into the topics”. The student must also have a compilation of texts containing all the normative texts covered during the course. Reference handbooks are recommended.
- The lecturers are available to answer any questions.
