In the context of the harmonization of the Member States' legal orders within the European Union (EU), and the UK’s complex relationship with the EU, it is increasingly important for lawyers to understand and apply systems of law belonging to the main constitutional legal traditions. In that respect, the academic study of the French constitutional experience is crucial.
The French Constitutional Law module constitutes the first part of French Law of the LLB (Hons) English Law and French Law/Master 1 (Maîtrise en Droit) degree programme. You will be taught entirely in French, in a manner that reflects the way law is taught in France. You will be introduced to French methods of university education and methods of legal thinking and writing.
This introduction to French methods (dissertation juridique, level 1) is essential for this degree programme, in order for you to be prepared to acquire simultaneous English and French legal qualifications. This module is designed to provide you with a sound knowledge of French Constitutional Law and related theory, with a strong emphasis on the Constitution of the Third and the Fifth Republics. An important part of the module is dedicated to French legal methodology and assessment techniques in order to prepare you for your year abroad and the study leading to the French Master 1.
This module is for LLB (Hons) English Law and French Law/Master 1 (Maîtrise en Droit) students only.
