Language of the Law, 4 CP<br />

2 <strong>st</strong>. di 12-14 GABF 04/413 Süd<br />

In this seminar, we will explore the use of legal language within its cultural contexts.<br />

Students will learn to under<strong>st</strong>and the fundamental ideas underlying the legal sy<strong>st</strong>ems<br />

of Britain, the USA, and – to some extent – also of Germany. We will <strong>st</strong>udy the<br />

hi<strong>st</strong>orical development and the present <strong>st</strong>ate of legal in<strong>st</strong>itutions, legal professions<br />

and important legal principles. Much of the course work will be devoted to case<br />

<strong>st</strong>udies focusing on topical issues (introduction of ID cards in the UK, European law<br />

vs. national law etc.) as well as on famous court cases which have had a la<strong>st</strong>ing<br />

influence on the admini<strong>st</strong>ration of ju<strong>st</strong>ice today. All <strong>st</strong>udents will be expected to give a<br />

short presentation (e.g. introducing an in<strong>st</strong>itution, a procedure, or a classic case).<br />

The course will conclude with a written exam – though, alternatively, <strong>st</strong>udents may<br />

also choose to submit a research paper in order to obtain credit.<br />
