At the end of this course, students should - understand the specificity and relevance of legal theory ; - master the theses relating to the issues studied ; - have developed a critical aptitude towards the law as it is constructed and implemented ; - be able to build a theoretical development on various aspects of the legal phenomenon.

Content

The course offers a reflection on contemporary law or, more precisely, a theorisation, in the sense of a problematisation, of the methods and foundations of law.

In order to develop your critical faculties as well as your knowledge of the various currents and main concepts of legal theory, this course draws on the knowledge acquired in your courses in positive law, philosophy, and the humanities.
It is therefore a crossroads course that aims to promote the interdisciplinarity that characterises the Bachelor of Laws programme.
