Teaching methods
The course Family law is based mainly on lectures. They give students the basic information of family law and its institutions. The PowerPoint presentations are available on the information system and el-portal of the Masaryk University. The textbook Czech family law was written to give the student the opportunity to study at home and prepare well for practical seminars. Practical seminars (workshops) are interactive. They are based on syllabuses: part one is more theoretical (topics for discussion) and part two is more practical (cases). One time a term the students solve the real case based on the petition, courts recording, decision, opinion of an expert witness, etc.). Everything is available on the information system. The students work on active skills (drills), good written and oral self-presentation. They participate in class discussions. Students understand better the problematic, remember the key institutions and use them in praxis.
Assessment methods
The course is based on lectures and practical seminars (workshops), which are obligatory. The key condition for obtaining the credits is active participation in presentations and class discussions on practical cases, model cases, and case studies based on decisions of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights, including the dissent opinions. The home individual study of law, cases, literature and PowerPoint presentations is - beside the attendance at lectures - a precondition. Students have to present home written preparation during workshops. They have to defend the results. The lectures are focused on theoretic and systematical introduction into the problematic and on the key case law. The exam is both written and oral. After the written test, the exam is based on the case study and theoretical questions. The teacher gives value to each part of the exam. When one part is wrong, the mark is failed. The methods serve for obtaining information whether the students got both the information on family law and practical skills. For more see IO.
