- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches
- This colloquium offers room to discuss important international jurisprudence. It will be structured in the following way: If enough participants volunteer, two cases will be discussed during each session. At the beginning of the lecture, a gut feeling round will be held, where students voice their initial opinions and/or questions on the cases. All participants are expected to read indicated parts of the cases in preparation for the colloquy to meet the objective of actively discussing the courts decision.
Two students will give a short presentation (max. 15 minutes) on the two cases. Afterwards, a discussion will ensue based on the gut feeling round and the presentations looking for similarities or differences in the reasoning of these cases and/or trying to answer questions which arose during the gut feeling round. A guest lecturer will also be present at each lecture to give input on the cases.
The lecture is directed to law students, particularly those participating in the Schwerpunktbereich 6: Völker- und Europarecht and requires a basic knowledge of public international law. The course is open to students participating in level 4 of the Law Facultys Fachspezifische Fremdsprachenausbildung (FFA). The lecture is also open to students enrolled in the master programme Internationale Politik und Internationales Recht and Erasmus and Master of Law Students.
There is the opportunity to either obtain a certificate of regular attendance or a graded certificate. A graded certificate will be given when at least two presentations are held over the course of the summer term. If a graded certificate is desired, the presentations will be graded.

- Inhalt
- Content: The colloquy offers the opportunity to read, discuss and analyse some of the international cases that have had a lasting impact on the development of international law in a seminar-like atmosphere. In contrast to a lecture series, the main focus of the colloquy is to engage into a discourse with all participants on the relevant legal questions. With a short student presentation on each case as the starting point, the main legal problems and the solutions provided by the Court or Tribunal shall be discussed in the plenary to shed light on the cases impact upon the understanding and further development of the law. If possible, one session will involve two presentations in order to contrast the decisions. By putting such milestones in international jurisprudence into context, the participants deepen their understanding of substantive public international law but likewise of procedural law in dispute settlement. As the working language of the colloquy is English, the class serves to improve the participants language and discussions skills that are indispensable (not only) for internationally oriented lawyers.
