Learning to practise law
Tutorials, practical work and werkcolleges complement the knowledge acquired in lectures, and enable small groups to compare the general, abstract nature of the rule of law with real-life situations.
During practical exercises, students take part in mock trials, draw up pleadings, work on finding solutions to real cases, analyse various documents, etc. The werkcolleges are also a form of teaching characterised by active participation aimed at imparting legal knowledge with a special emphasis on skills.
The written work which students complete as part of their practical work and/or werkcolleges teaches them to formulate a legal question, find solutions to it by carrying out documentary research and formulate their results appropriately.
In order to equip students as best as possible, expose them to situations and help them carry out work in the best possible conditions, the two institutions provide them with:
• computer rooms providing access to legal databases; • a courtroom for mock trials and moot court competitions;
• law libraries, containing thousands of references.
Methodological assistance
Both institutions place great importance on educational support for all bachelor's programmes. The relevant departments can be found on their websites.
