Main themes Taking into account the objectives, the "Family Justice" course is divided into two main parts. The first part will concentrate on analysing the evolution of judging and in a more general manner the different methods of management and resolution of family conflicts in contemporary society. It includes studying the respective roles of a certain number of actors implicated in family conflicts and more specifically, the different family courts, family mediators, or social workers, and medical psychologists. The second part will concentrate on an in-depth study of the following litigation in family situations: - Conjugal litigation (spouse's rights and duties); - Maintenance litigation; - Civil procedures in Juvenile's Court.
Aims The objective of the course is to allow students to grasp the specificity of the exercice of the justice in family conflicts, while taking into consideration the social and human aspects as well as specific techniques. It will, on the one hand, develop students' critical thinking on the specific roles of the different parties acting in family justice or in the management of the different conflicts in contentious family situations, and, on the other, an in-depth study of the different judicial procedures in family law. The 'Family Justice' course constitutes a supplementary programme adapted to family litigation of the course "specific questions of Judicial Law". This course forms a part of a coherent specialised option. The lecturers responsible are part of an educational team: they meet on the contents and methods in each course to ensure that they are complementary. When ever possible and taking into account the numbers enrolled, the course is based on active participation. The lecturer will use illustrative examples and invite the students to apply their newly acquired knowledge to specific situations.
