LLB M122 English and French Law (Maitrise)
Compulsory for students of the LLB English and French laws with Maitrise, it gives an overview of the French administrative law and of the balance between its two constitutive imperatives. On the one hand, French administrative law limits the powers of the State to protect citizens' interests. On the other, it empowers the State and its administration in order to ensure the appropriate functioning of society.
This module also focuses on the legal methods specific to French law (especially dissertation and commentaire de décision).
