The course will be taught by Prof. Babusiaux and Prof. Scarso (University Bocconi, Milan). Moreover, Prof. Pietro Tereszkiewicz (University of Krakow, Swiss-mobility-programme) will give a lecture on the 29th of September. In accordance with the course as part of the master program, students are requested to read the chapters indicated below before every meeting. At the beginning of every session, up to three students may be called up to summarize and comment on certain aspects of the preliminary readings (without grading). The meeting itself will then concentrate on particular issues of the topic and on the analysis of court decisions. Students are expected to be able any time to take part in the discussion and to deliver three written papers to Prof. Babusiaux during the semester.
The papers will serve as evaluation for the students and the three marks obtained within the papers will be taken into account for the assessment of the course as well as the personal contributions during the discussions.
More details for the written papers can be found here (PDF, 67 KB).

Examination:
Please note: For mobility students and Erasmus exchange students only, Prof. Scarso offers the possibility to obtain the course via an oral examination that will take place on December 14th from 13.30 p.m. Mobility students and Erasmus exchange students will choose at the beginning of the semester, at the latest October 6th, if they prefer to write the three papers or to take part in an oral examination. They communicate their decision via e-mail to lst.babusiaux@rwi.uzh.ch. Revocation of the decision once it is taken will not be possible. Students that do not choose the oral examination will be obliged to present the three papers.
However, all regular students must obtain their grade via the preparation of the written papers.
