Literature:

Description:

Pracitcals serve in order to make commercial law accessible to students through solving the real life problems. Students are given series of hypothetical or real situations which end in a lawsuit and which contain certain substantive legal problems. Students are taught how to approach those problems, how to apply an abstract legal norm to a specific situation and how to formulate a complaint. The problems are most commonly addressed in form of an esssay, which are followed by a discussion. Students are taught how to balance opposed legal principles and when to choose a certain principle over the others.
