Leeruitkomsten

Analysering (general description) 
Before creating a professional product, the legal professional must analyse the legal practice. Next, they must formulate the relevant legal questions in support of their position in the case. The legal professional must have adequate research skills, systematically selecting and gathering relevant legal sources, such as legislation and case law. Their analysis process should include the gathering, selection, qualification and analysis of information on the practical situation, the resulting relevant facts and legal sources. The legal professional must complete all stages of this process in order to deliver a satisfactory professional product. 

Advising (general description) 
After clarifying the legal question at hand, the legal professional investigates the relevant facts, positions, interests, legal sources and applicable legislation. Having analysed the situation, they then provide a reasoned recommendation - either verbally or in writing - in the appropriate format and terminology. Their considerations provide insight into the underlying process and their understanding of aspects such as customer friendliness, effectiveness, usability and support. 

Comprehensive collaboration (general description) 
Working under supervision, the SLS student is able to collaborate on complex but well-defined socio-legal practical assignments aimed at addressing multiple issues in an integrated and systemic manner. 

 

Inhoud

This course will provide a study of international human rights. Human rights are defined as rights inherent to all human beings. They are rights that every person has simply because they are human. Human rights are thus conceived as universal, inalienable and equally applicable to all. Nowadays, human rights are an intrinsic part of international law as is evidenced by the various human rights treaties and the status of human rights as ius cogens. At the same time human rights and their protection have been subject to debate and reality teaches us that human rights are not always respected. General topics of study in this course are the sources, applicability and protection of international human rights. Besides these general topics, the content of various types of human rights and current issues will be topic of discussion.
