Cursos de Doctorat

 

A) SEMINARI DE METODOLOGIA JURÍDICA

  • Impartit pels professors de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra: Esther Farnós, Pablo Pareja, Josep Lluís Martí i Víctor Ferreres.
  • 2-9 novembre.

B) WRITING A PhD IN EU LAW 

  • Impartit per la professora Monica Claes (Maastricht University)
  • The first part of the course, ‘Writing a PhD in law’, offers a general introduction on how to write a PhD dissertation in law, with particular attention to the different national traditions and the different sub-disciplines of law. It will address issues such as defining a research question and project design, and discusses several types of legal research. It reflects on the distinction between 'black letter law' research and contextual analysis of the law, and discusses the role that other disciplines (such as political science, sociology or economics) can play in legal research. The second part zooms in on EU law as a field of law, and as a legal field. It will looks into current trends of legal research in EU law. Throughout the course, students are invited to engage with the lecturer and their fellow students, and to share their experiences, views, doubts and expectations.  
  • 17-26 octubre (16.30 a 19.00 hores)

C) METHODOLOGY OF PUBLIC COMPARATIVE LAW

  • Impartit pel professor Roberto Toniatti (Università degli Studi di Trento)
  • The course on Methodology of Public Comparative Law provides the basic framework for understanding and eventually applying the comparative method as a supplement to the legal method in scientific research. Classes will emphasise the growing role of the comparative method within the process of global development of the law and of European integration; furthermore, the course will highlight the interaction of comparative law with different legal traditions (thus requiring an initiation into legal systemology and a special acquaintance with the common law system), with the historical method (diachronic - as distinct from synchronic - comparison) as well as with the difficulties of legal translation  (which must always be a translation of concepts rather than a translation of words). Comparative law must therefore always stress the need to distinguish between the formal and the actual rule of law and may be regarded as a useful instrument for a better understanding of one's own legal system.
  • 14-24 novembre (16.30 a 18.30 hores)
