Onderwijsvormen
The course will consist of approximately 20 lectures. The lecturers make extensive use of interactive lectures, thus encouraging the students to test their prior and newly gained knowledge. Students are also asked to prepare presentations which form part of their assessment method; they are asked to research cases to write and deliver presentations, exercising the use of ICT as one of the main forms of media for research and writing. The assignments compel them to use the different law libraries in Leiden and at other locations e.g. the Peace Palace.
