| Aims |
Economic activity is conducted within a framework governed by legal provisions. The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to the relevant standards, and more generally, to encourage them to take the legal dimension of economic problems into account.
Given the complexity, contingency, instability even, which are typical of legal provisions, it is particularly important that students develop the reflex of consulting the texts.
While the course requires students to learn a significant amount of the subject matter by heart, the crucial test of whether students have acquired really valuable knowledge lies in their ability to apply the ideas taught in class to concrete situations
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and
command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be
