Cíle předmětu
I believe that by way of analyzing how 'International Tribunals nd Domestic Courts' interpret and apply the black-letter rules you will, during the course, enhance your doctrinal knowledge, issue-spotting, and analytical ability: skills necessary for all capable and thoughtful lawyers.The aim of this course is practical explanation how international law actually works in practice and how students as future practising lawyers can benefit from the knowledge of international law to, inter alia, advance the cases of their clients. This course will seek to explore the nexus between law and facts, theory and practice, means and ends. In the course, aspects of both substantive law and procedure, the rules of evidence and trial tactics will be considered. Cases selection criteria: cases will be selected following the discussion with students in order to identify their preference with regard to the area of international law they would wish to focus on. Should there be any students from countries other than the Czech Republic, they will be encouraged to propose interesting cases from their national legal orders. The possible areas of focus are: Settlement of Disputes, Law of Treaties, International Organizations, International Criminal Law, Human Rights, International Economic Law, Investment, International Environmental Law and many others. Nevertheless, the selection of cases will be guided by the importance of selected cases for interpretation of rules of international law. The focus will be made especially on cases which indicate controversial or changing areas of international law. For each seminar, one case will be agreed on. Then, its analysis will follow, including: analysis of the legal context for the judgment, possible discussion of the broader (political/historical/social) context, analysis of legal arguments with the aim of provoking critical legal reasoning, explaining the core issues of the case. In case of interest, the moot court may be organized at the last seminar. Presentations given by lecturers or practitioners from abroad planned (e.g. lecturers from the United Kingdom/University of Wales Aberystwyth, practitioners from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia/ICTY or from the War Crimes Chamber of the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina).

I look forward to seeing those of you who are interested in "the law in action", in looking outside the box, beyond the black-letter rules and study how the law plays out in practice. This course is offered to both Czech students and foreign students. This, I believe, presents a great opportunity to meet new friends from various cultures and to socialize, which I look forward to as well.
