Master's Seminar WP-PR-SEM-4AK
The seminar covers general legal studies—the specific set of topics is tailored to each student's individual interests and preferences.
The course content depends on the topic of the thesis being prepared. A Master’s student writing a thesis in the field of law-making, interpretation or application of the law is supervised differently. The seminar is conducted on an individual basis.
