Course Description
The EU Fiscal Practicum consists in a tailor-made role playing scenario, whereby students are offered the possibility of testing their European Tax Law skills in a simulated environment.
The simulations offered are: (a) European Moot Court Case (simulated ECJ case); (b) a European Policy Briefing (simulated group of national civil servants), or © European Client Meeting (simulated commercial meeting with a client). In each case, participants are presented with a particular legal challenge which they must solve. This takes the form of a case under litigation (litigation approach), an idea or legal solution which must be presented to a client (commercial approach) or a policy briefing to a ‘government official’ (policy approach).
Students must make an oral presentation of a particular topic for, respectively, a panel of judges, a group of civil servants or a (commercial) client. These roles will be fulfilled by external persons, who have a background relevant to the case at hand.
