Learning outcomes
This workshop provides students with transversal and multidisciplinary skills for their future employments in both the private and the public sector. At the end of the activities, students will have acquired comparative knowledge concerning legal tools to infringe upon the rule of law and will have read, analysed and tried judicial reasoning techniques on the issue.
Course contents
The workshop introduces students to the legal tools - normative and judicial - leading to the rule of law backsliding in the EU from a legal comparative perspective.
It addresses the legislative and constitutional tecnhiques most frequently adopted to capture the judiciary, starting with Poland and Hungary.
Analysis and mock trials of the judgments adopted by all concerned courts will take place.
