| 1 | The course family patrimonial right has as primary aim to initiate the students to a specific branch of the civil law which could not be taught in the program of the baccalaureat : successions and liberalities (Book III of the Civil code, Titles I and II). Beyond this objective of basic knowledge essential to the comprehension of a particular branch of the substantive law, the course has as second objective to come back, during the second cycle of the law studies, to the analysis of a specific thematic of the social life - family relations - allowing the students to develop a competence of critical reflection relating to the way family relations are currently apprehended and controlled in the contemporary society and a competence of application of the law in the concrete situations. To achieve this second aim, the course will not be limited to a study of the specific rules of successions and liberalities law but will integrate it in a broader perspective taking account of the management and transmission of the inheritances within the family and of the incidence that the death of a close relation has on family life. |
