Cíle předmětu
Unlike a usual lecture-oriented course, the Colloquium on European Constitutional Law & Politics generates a free flow of ideas among participants and the distinction between a "teacher" and a "student" is abandoned in favour of the joint pursuit of advanced study involving the EU constitutional law and politics. The colloquium European Constitutional Law & Politics consists of 6 workshops. Students first meet with the course conveners and discuss a recent paper by a leading authority one week before the presentation of the invited scholar. The next week they meet with the author, along with other visiting faculty members and invited guests (namely, but not only, judges from the Administrative Supreme Court, the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court and their assistants), for a workshop about the paper. The following week, reactions to the workshop are reviewed, and then, with the next topic, the whole process begins again. The key aim of the colloquium is to equip students with the nuances of the European constitutional law and politics and the interaction between the national and European law. The discussions held with the invited scholars will also help to improve the quality of their papers, encourage a multidisciplinary research and increase the awareness of hot issues in the EU. Due to its nature the colloquium European Constitutional Law & Politics is the most advanced course offered at the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University.

  • Number of Sessions 12 sessions (6 seminars and 6 lectures) for 30 students at maximum. The colloquium is taught annually in the spring semester. Course outline This course is of unusual nature. It consists of two types of sessions – lectures or rather presentations of papers by their authors and seminars. 6 lectures by invited speakers are the core of the colloquium. These lectures will be given in 2., 4., 6., 8., 10. and 12. week of the semester. The invited speakers make their papers available 14 days before the relevant lecture/presentation, at minimum. A week before the lecture/presentation (in 1., 3., 5., 7., 9. and 11. week of the semester) a seminar is held during which selected students present their reaction papers related to the given topic and handed in the day before. The ultimate goal of such an approach is to analyse individual papers from a broader perspective and make arguments and questions of students raised during the discussion with an invited speaker better. Speakers' names and concrete topics will be announced in the beginning of the semester.
