Course programme
- The operation of law, in the variety of global legal situations, has a specific dynamism. In a single situation, several laws must sometimes be mobilised, alternatively, cumulatively, at the same time or at different moments, in one or several spaces, by one or by multiple actors.
This distinctive dynamic, which the lawyer must be conscious of when passing from one context – national, international or regional – to another, has an influence over the law, its uses and, sometimes, its content.
This lecture is a general presentation of a three steps method: comparison, combination and prioritization of the Law in a global context. Didactic methods
